A New Leaf

David Lanier
Another year has come and gone,

and a new one is upon us.

As time marches forward,

and we celebrate and ponder,

this mystery called life,

let us not forget the

impact that we have,

on this earth we live on,

and the people that surround us.

Though we all have our own path,

we all walk a common road.

We are all here on this earth,

to help each other out.

This is a simple lesson to learn,

but the hardest one to follow.

Greed and hate seem to have

taken over, and left only

loss and sorrow.

But a new dawn is upon us,

this you can be sure.

All the greed and pain can

be overcome,

if we all work together,

and help our fellow man.

There has always been peace

and light in this land,

but lately it's been hiding,

waiting for a new day to dawn,

and all God's people to follow.

So, lets all turn a new leaf

in this coming new year,

and all walk in peace and love,

and remember why we are here.
