Happy New Year

We shall start a New year
Lifes a fruit, this is but a slice
By janararys end will reappear
Resolutions thrown out vice
We gather with dear friends
toast the start of something new
To goodwill that never ends
and more friends to meet like you

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
