This special time of year calls out to one and all,
to see within ourselves a spirit of charity and bliss,
to give one another a hug, a handshake, and a kiss,
while memories of the past play in our mind’s eye as well.
Your clever thoughts have created a future well well-devised,
and many a person will benefit divine.
The efforts and plans you have made are at hand,
so lay back for now and enjoy your family and friends.
For a New Year is upon us that brightens each day,
and your emotions and determination will create great things.
A restaurant, bakery, office place, or factory are created by hand,
and the efforts of all may well excel, or fall flat upon itself,
but those who create risk much to benefit everyone else.
Working for yourself has a truly hidden meaning indeed,
for do you work for your benefit, or others perhaps,
partner, family, or community at best, others always benefit.
To create and bring to life a hope and a dream,
is what ownership in business truly means.
No matter the economic environment, or political ideology,
there is always someone farming, building, and harvesting too.
A clapping hand for those who invest in themselves each day,
hoping upon hope for a brighter, more attractive profitable Way.
