Choices

The new year cometh

A chance to start anew

To make things better

To freshen up

Your look on life

To boldly go

Where you’ve not gone before

To make the world a better place

To be happy in yourself

And resolute in your choices

To live life to the fullest

For the year will just begin

Let's make a good one

Let go the savage world

Shut out the tense busy life

Seek to shut out vengeful people

Enjoy the call of family

The food and the revelry

The best times are had not

With tons of money

But with love and companionship

So don’t forget to share

A little happiness

 Enjoy the season of lights

But give generously

To those with little

All year long.

Placid Man or Woman

No obituary

Ever really speaks

Of the placid man

It doesn’t resonate

With the common folk

Even though

The placid man or woman

Is the one

Who can be the kindest

Who gives of his or herself

Every day with no reward

Or accolades spoken

They don’t seek the media

They just do

Perhaps their real reward comes

In the afterlife?
