New Year’s Day 2023 - Whose Blossoms Shall Be Tender Deeds

  

A New Year’s Wish

May each day bring thee something
Fair to hold in memory—
Some true light to shine
Upon thee in the after days.
May each night bring thee peace,
As when the dove broods o'er
The young she loves; may day
And night the circle of
A rich experience weave
About thy life, and make
It rich with knowledge, but radiant
With Love, whose blossoms shall be
Tender deeds.

—George Wharton James, 1909
