A New Year Prayer

May this be a year, of love and kindness. May strangers come to be friends. May truth and compassion always guide us. Amen

May this be a year for hope and healing for all of those in need. May all of our deeds be a blessing. Amen

A new year, a good year, a chance to start all over. A new year, a sweet year, a chance to bring us closer.

May this be a year of selfless giving. May this be a year of peace. And may we forgive and be forgiven. Amen

A new year, a good year, a chance to start all over. A new year, a sweet year, a chance to bring us closer. Closer to the ones we love. A world that we can be proud of. As long as there are stars above, there comes a new year. Amen
