A Happy New Year

What shall I wish thee?

Treasures of earth?  

Songs in the springtime,

Pleasure and mirth?

Flowers on thy pathway,

Skies ever clear?

Would this ensure thee

A Happy New Year?

What shall I wish thee?

What can be found

Bringing thee sunshine

All the year round?

Lasting and dear,

That shall ensure thee

A Happy New Year?

Faith that increaseth,

Walking in light;

Hope that aboundeth,

Happy and bright;

Love that is perfect,

Casting out fear;

These shall insure thee

A Happy New Year.  

~ Frances Ridley Havergal

I wish all of these for you in 2016... and also a year filled with good books to read! Happy New Year! :)
