A New YearThe new year is here at last.I’ll try to make it better than the one just past.
I will try to finish up some UFO’sAnd slow the rate at which my stash grows.
I will learn at least one new techniqueAnd work on skills which I know are weak.
My responsibilities I’ll do my best to fulfillAnd try my hardest to spread good will.
I hope through some of the steps I takeMore friends in the guild this year I’ll make.
By setting goals that are positive and clearI’m sure I’ll have a successful year.
