THE YEAR THAT IS NEW!

                        The year that is new!





Forget the kindness that you do,
as soon as you have done it; 
Forget the praise that falls on you, 
the moment you have won it. 
Forget the slander that you hear, 
before you can repeat it; 
Forget each slight, spite, or sneer, 
wherever you may meet it. 

Remember every kindness done to you,
whatever is its measure; 
Remember praise by others won, 
and pass it on with pleasure. 
Remember every promise made, 
and keep it to the letter; 
Remember those who lend you aid, 
and be a grateful debtor. 

Remember all the happiness 
that comes your way in living; 
Forget each worry and distress, 
be hopeful and forgiving. 
Remember good, remember truth, 
remember heaven's above you. 
And you will find love, joy and youth, 
through the year that is new!
