May the New Year fill
Your home with happiness
An abundance of joy
Beyond excess

May the New Year fill
Your path with kindness
A giving of yourself
Willing acts of goodness

May the New Year fill
Your mind with wisdom
An understanding of life
Sound without boredom

May the New Year fill
Your heart with love
Strong with desires
Endearing as a dove

May the New Year fill
Your world with peace
Absence of strife
Quarrels to cease

May the New Year fill
Your being with good health
A wholesome body
Exceeding great wealth

May the New Year fill
Your soul with spiritual strength
To ease life's difficulties
At great length

May the New Year fill
Your life with needs
Achievements and successes
Warmth, as sunshine bleeds

Easter is a commemoration
Of the resurrection of our Lord
A time for sunshine, joy and love
Tranquility, peace and accord

Fashionable Easter bonnets
Colorful for all to admire
Exciting Easter parades
Folks in their best attire

Sending Easter wishes
Spring blessings for all a thrill
Flowers emitting their aromatic scent
The lily, crocus, tulip and daffodil

Baskets from the Easter bunny
Childrens happy faces so sweet
Colored eggs, marshmallow chicks,
Jellybeans and a chocolate bunny treat

Moveable festival of the Christian church
Family gatherings and Easter holidays
Festive meals and Easter bread
Celebrating Easter in many ways

A mothers love is unconditional
With her selflessness and gigantic heart
She will forever be your friend
Until that day she has to part

Her sweetness beams
Caring and giving are what she does
She'd die or trade your pain
For you, the child she loves

Happy to see you love your children
As much as she loves you
So much wisdom that she passed on
That made you who you are and what you do

She is your ray of sunshine
Your inspiration, in whatever you do
She is the arms of the world
When you are feeling sad and blue

Her kindness and happiness
Can be seen in her eyes each day
She has a gift for understanding
And forgiving when her child goes astray

This special sun that lights your life
Comforts you without a sigh
She asks for nothing in return
And need not question why

She has a beauty of her own
A charm and grace like no other
This dear and delightful woman
Is your wonderful mother

Love for the buds of life he created
A father is like a gentle breeze
Tenderly flowing with its softness
Through the sprigs of the blooming trees

He can fill the air with his caring heart
A strength which makes you feel safe when small
A man who shows his labor of love
With kindness glowing best of all

Through the eyes of his children
He's understanding for their cares and woes
Inspires them with a gift of knowledge
And shapes them lovingly as time grows

He has an ability to grasp lifes wonders
And charms you like no other man can
Has skills to teach and guide you through life
Your father, a great giant of a man

The joys of Christmas is a shining star
Atop a fragrant ornated tree
Flickering lights and tinsel glistening
Beautiful presents wrapped so merrily

The joys of Christmas is the festivities
Chocolate, peppermint and savory scents galore
Peace, happiness and tranquility
A welcoming wreath hanging on the door

The joys of Christmas is togetherness
Crystal flakes forming a blanket of snow
A warm fireplace for quiet moments
Setting the song in our hearts aglow

The joys of Christmas is family traditions
Greeting cards sharing Christmas wishes
Hearing the laughter of family and friends
The clinging of festive holiday dishes

The joys of Christmas is boxes, bows, gift wrap and tags
Making a list hoping not to get the dreaded piece of coal
The precious faces of children opening their presents
Hand made gifts made from the heart and soul

The joys of Christmas is the medley of carolers
Decorated homes and colorful lights
Listening for Santa's jingling bells on the rooftop
All those glorious sounds and sights

The joys of Christmas is holly and mistletoe
Garland, snowmen, Santa Claus and his reindeer
Sleigh rides, poinsettias, stockings and candy canes
Fruitcake, eggnog and holiday cheer

The joys of Christmas is a gift from God
A celebration of Jesus's birth
Glowing candles and angels singing
A wish to all for peace on earth
