New Calendar, Old Calendar  
 
Old calendar's last page is old and worn.  
Tomorrow, tidy ones will deck the wall.  
What wishes shall we make on new year morn?  
The kids will want to grow up, smart and tall.  
Adults will want a storeroom full of corn;  
their house is warm in winter, cool at fall.  
 
Our future days are God's gifts, so content  
yourselves with simple life from day to day.  
Don't count the passage of years in lament,  
but sum  the blessings on your daily tray.  
 
Agatha Lai
