Clean them thoroughly of all bitterness, hate, and jealousy,
Make them just as fresh and clean as possible.
Now cut each month into twenty-eight,
thirty, or
thirty-one different parts,
but don't make up the whole batch
at once.
Prepare it one day at a time out
of these ingredients.
Mix well into each day one part
of faith,
one part of patience, one part
of courage,
and one part of work.
Add to each day one part of hope,
faithfulness, generosity, and kindness.
Blend with one part prayer,
one part meditation, and one good
deed.
Season the whole with a dash of
good spirits,
a sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play,
and a cupful of good humor.
Pour all of this into a vessel of
love.
Cook thoroughly over radiant joy,
garnish with a smile,
and serve with quietness, unselfishness,
and cheerfulness.
You're bound to have a Happy New Year.
