All that is beautiful, all that is best -

Health for life's pilgrimage,
Strength for its strife,
Sunshine to brighten the pathway of life;
Courage to trust, tho' the skies be overcast,
Hope for the future born out of the past,
Love that is tender and friends who are true;
This is my New Year's wish for you.
A year to be glad in,
Not to be bad in;
A year to live in,
To gain and give in.
A year for striving
And hearty thriving;
A bright new year,
Oh! hold it dear.
For God who sendeth
He only lendeth.

Famous New Year Poems
You can wish upon a star
You can wish from afar
You can wish instead of dream
You can wish or you can scream.
But this New Year I have a wish for you:
I wish, your wish turns into a goal for you!
And you take the action to see it come true.
A year that brings success in all you do.
