  My Poems  

New Year

A Found Poem by Beverly Stock

If I resolve, with the new year,

A better girl to be,

Twill do no good at all, I fear,

But instead, harm to me,


Unless I try, with every day,

No angry word to speak;

Unless, each morn, with might I pray

To keep me mild and meek.


Then let me try with all my might,

And may angels help me too,

Always to choose the way that's right,

Whatever act I do.



I slightly altered this favorite of mine written by H. P. Nichols in the public domain.
