Hi everybody,

We wish you a very prosperous and happy new year.

When I was a young boy we went to all neighbours the first days of th
new year to wish everyone a happy new year. We then said:

Gelukkig nei jaor
he'j de jaorskoek'n klaor
een seupie d'r bij
da's goed veur mij

Translated;
a happy new year
you have the new years cookies ready
together with a drink
will do me well.

Specially for my relatives and friends I made a poem for X-mas and
thestart of this new year. So also for all of you.


We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year



We hope that you all will quit

Hiding your positive feelings

Intensify inside which bothers

And change defences
Exchange feelings with others

So that you will be happy

And prosperous in all senses



We have a strong idea

That most of the time

You get what you give

We had the experience

To discover real friends

When things go worse



Jump over that fence

May superior feelings

Of goodness rule thee

The coming year and further on

In all the coming ends

So you will from evil be free



Better living poor and Rich

Than dying rich and Poor.

Might be your growing edge

The target which

Will rule  your lovely live

And guideth thee



Rikus Kiers
