May the new year
be kind to you and yours
and to men and women everywhere
no matter where they live
and what language they speak.
.
May the new year
be kind to children everywhere
and may they enjoy good health
and abundant food and warm shelter
and be surrounded by love
no matter where they live
and what language they speak
.
May the new year
be kind to all animals
great and small
for God created them
and gave them into our care
to be surrounded by love
no matter where they live
and what language they speak
.
May the new year
be kind to our planet Earth
for God created it to be our home
full of bounty full of beauty
and He gave it into our care
to be surrounded by love
no matter where we live
and what language we speak
.
