Things I will strive harder to do

View Author's Copyright Information

Life is too short to spend it in the darkness of ones mind.
Hoping this year I can see colors and light, not be blind.
Sharing wondrous images, love, respecting all mankind.

What are the things this year, I need not do?
Certainly not spread hate and sadness, phew!
Change who I am, no, that I do not have to.

What are my priorities, the things I have to address?
Relax with things I can't change, let go of the stress.
Stay focused on blessings I have, surely not digress.

Live my life, as to others I preach, the best that I can.
Open eyes wider, spread my wings, expand the plan.
Listen more to my heart, grow, become a better man.

Show others the way, lead by example, the best way.
Change the world, one thought at a time, don't sway.
Multiplying values, love, peace, happiness, each day.

The very first line caught my attention. I expect there will be times in my life when I remember it... so thank you.

how does that old song go? color my world with sunshine yellow each day
Oh you can color my world with happiness all the way
Just take the green from the grass and the blue from the sky up above
And if you color my world, just paint it with your love
what a beautiful thought for the New Year, Hope you find lots of color
