I offer you a handsel
To place within your pocket.
That rich experiences swell
Twenty seventeen's docket.
Now seemingly small token
Lost in the darkness within;
Mere words easily spoken
Occasioning just a grin.
But as the year progresses
You'll be pleasantly surprised
Will come your way successes
Much more than you realized.
Wishing you all success and happiness in your endeavors for 2017
