Happy New Year, Friends Poem by John Sensele

Friends, new year, new opportunity
Dart forward and fill your cart
With ability and agility
To start smart and eat smart tart.

Friends, choose to cruise
At sedate pace
Win, don't lose
A single day, but turn each race into a brace grace.

Friends, weep not, but steep
Into trends that vend progress
Success and keep
Up good cheer; my dear, and veer away from stress.

Friends, a new year deserves
New chapters to rise
Above rafters as stamina reserves
Yield a priceless prize of the right size.
