May The Coming Year

by Catherine Pulsifer

May the coming year be filled with joy,
With love and blessings to enjoy,
Prosperity and peace in each day,
As we raise our glasses, let's all say:

Here's to new beginnings and bright days ahead,
To success, good health, and friendships widespread,
May each one of us find happiness true,
In this New Year, may our dreams all come through.

A Toast of Blessings

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

May the blessings of God be with you
Throughout the coming year.
May you be surrounded by loved ones
Who are precious and dear.
May each day be filled with thanksgiving
Thanking God above
For life and for living
And for surrounding you with His love.

The New Year - The Old Year

The Old year is going, — "goodbye," let us say,
To its joys and its griefs that haunt us this day!
The New Year is coming, — "All hail," let us cry,
And fresh rules of our lives again let us try.

The Old Year is going, farewell to our friend!
Grand was thy coming, and most calm is thy end.
The New Year comes quickly, we hope for the best!
We'll do all we can, and trust God for the rest.

Here's To A Year Of Growth

by Catherine Pulsifer

The laughter that brightens the darkest range,
Shared moments that bind us tight,
Enriching our lives, like stars in the night.

May this New Year bring us closer still,
With joy and love our hearts fill,
A toast to the future, we raise our glass,
Wishing happiness for all, as time passes.

A toast to the future, we raise our glass, Wishing happiness for all, as time passes.

A New Year's Toast

Love and laughter lead you
Down the pathways of the year,
And may each morning feed you
From the golden spoon of cheer;
May every eye be shining,
And every cheek aglow.
And may the silver lining
Of the clouds forever show.

May peace and plenty find you,
May pain and grief depart;
And may you leave behind you
The little cares that smart;
May no day be distressful.
No night be filled with woe,
And may you be successful
Wherever you may go.

May envy quit your dwelling
And hatred leave your heart;
May you rejoice in telling
Your brother's better part.
May you be glad you're living
However dark your way,
And find your joy in giving
Your service to the day.
