The Newest New Year

Best Wishes and Hopes for Health and Thoughtful Being

David A. Reinstein, LCSW
New New Years
Bring both
New joys
And new fears,
New laughter
And
New tears,
New assurances
And new cares.
It can never be
Just one side or
The obverse
As that would be
Contrary
To the nature of
Our Universe.

Our wishes are for betterment,
Our prayers are for health,
The avarice within most all
Yearns for more acquired wealth.

It's a good time
To remember
To be careful
What you wish for,
Because you might
Just get it
Then seek a quick
Alternative
To fish for.

Happy New Year,
Good choices
And
A lovingly shared
Humanity;
Each supporting
Human well being
And just the
Right amount of
Sanity.
