This forthcoming year of 2009, I thus foresee,
Great happenings and challenges for the world and our country;
In setting this worlds stage for this properly,
We can and should put forth a greater friendship with our fellow man
to gain peace, happiness, and prosperity
We’ve seen and learned things through the many acts of war,
That many problems from which they were fought became even more;
Thus, within our great country, we’ve always sought to set an example for the world to see,
It wasn’t easy to always attain these goals, but it showed others
what could be had through democracy;
We should begin here at home by renewing the elements and practices of faith, hope, peace, and family unity,
Many of these things have seemed to fall apart from what was
previously shown as respect, responsibility, to bring cheers;
The pace of living one’s life today, seems to have simply runaway,
So many people are busy trying to make their ends meet, when
they’ve often been at fault, I do say;
If people would take the time out of their daily lives to
re-learn and practice the fundamentals our previous generations had,
Everyone would be far better off in 2009, rather than facing items
that can become quite sad;
Hence, mankind should have and show more respect and peace
to each other, just as if they were a sister or brother.
