    A Toast to Ring in the New Year

    May your battles be few and your pleasures be many;
    May your wishes and dreams be fulfilled;
    May your confidence stand in the face of loss
    and give you the strength to rebuild;

    May peace of heart fill all your days;
    May serenity grace your soul;
    May tranquil moments bless your life
    and keep your spirit whole;

    At the sound of the tolling midnight bell
    Year 2007 will begin.
    Let’s raise our hopes in a confidant toast
    To the promises it ushers in:

    To leave the old with a burst of song;
    To recall the rights and forget the wrongs;
    To forget the things that bind you fast;
    To the vain regrets of the year that’s past;

    To have the strength to let go your hold
    of the not worthwhile from the days grown old;
    To dare go forth with a purpose true;
    To the unknown tasks in the year that’s new;

    To help your brothers along the road;
    To help where it’s needed, and to lighten their load.
    And to add your gift to the world’s good cheer
    is to have, and to give, a Happy New Year.

    I think it would be fun to do but my daughter HATES grapes. :-(
