To leave the old with a burst of song,
To recall the right and forgive the wrong;
To forget the thing that blinds you fast
To the vain regrets of the year that’s past.
~Robert B. Beattie
New year
New month
New day
New start
New hope
New tale
Forget the past
the grief and pain
leave both behind
Take your failure
as a challenge
to stand and strive
Go on
live life
with grateful bliss
Move on
have faith
and smile!
~Edited poem
by D. H. Jazlle
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. ~Titus 2:11 ✝
