A NEW YEAR DIALOGUE.

MORTAL: 

“The night is cold, the hour is late, the world is bleak and drear;

    Who is it knocking at my door?”

THE NEW YEAR: 

“I am Good Cheer.”

MORTAL: 

“Your voice is strange; I know you not; in shadows dark I grope.
What seek you here?”

THE NEW YEAR:

 “Friend, let me in; my name is Hope.”

MORTAL: 

“And mine is Failure; you but mock the life you seek to bless. Pass on.”

THE NEW YEAR:

 “Nay, open wide the door; I am Success.”

MORTAL: 

“But I am ill and spent with pain; too late has come your wealth. I cannot use it.”

THE NEW YEAR:

 “Listen, friend; I am Good Health.”

MORTAL: 

“Now, wide I fling my door. Come in, and your fair statements prove.”

THE NEW YEAR: 

“But you must open, too, your heart, for I am Love.”

- Ella Wheeler Wilcox

(1909)

Here's hoping 2014 brings you and yours good cheer, hope, success, good health and, most of all, love.
