A VOW FOR NEW YEAR'S, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Every hour and every minute
Last Line: That comes a model new year's day!
Alternate Author Name(s): Davis, Leland, Mrs.; Pawtuxie
Subject(s): Holidays; New Year


Every hour and every minute
Has a New Year's Day tucked in it
And each single one of these
Is packed with possibilities --
Possibilities of pleasure,
Of sharing with some friend some treasure,
Of making a "Good morning" cheery --
Making a good one from a dreary --
Of shutting tight the lips to hide
A bit of gossip safe inside
Instead of letting it get out
To roam about and maybe do
More harm than you would like it to.
Let us take a little vow,
Since it is the New Year now,
To be more kind, more brave, more gay
This year and make each single day
That comes a model New Year's Day!
