Happy New Year!


January opens
The box of the year
And brings out days
That are bright and clear
And brings out days
That are cold and gray
And shouts, "Come see
What I brought today"

A year to be glad in,
And not to be sad in,
To gain in, to give in,
A happy new year.
A new year for trying,
And never for sighing,
A new year to live in,
Oh, hold it most dear.
