Happy New Ears, everybody!
May they be better at hearing
the plight of the needy
and skip past the parts
where life is too greedy.
May they open up wide
to those needing assistance
and hop through the world
with a healthy persistence.
May they make you stand taller
and proud of your straightness
so you will achieve
more moments of greatness.
Oh, and Happy New Year, too!
– Carolyn
