HAPPY NEW YEAR













Naperville, Palatine, North Aurora and Hyrum.
There's joy in the air
Wherever you come from.

Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!

This bright new year is given us
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
Our highest and our best!

We have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!

Our wish, for us all, is for 2010 to be the best year ever.

Happy New Year to all of my family! What a lovely poem. Did you write it yourself, Pop? I love you!
