THE YEAR by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, from "A Poem for Every Winter Day"

 

What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That’s not been said a thousand times? 

 

The new years come, the old years go,

We know we dream, we dream we know. 

 

We rise up laughing with the light,

We lie down weeping with the night. 

 

We hug the world until it stings,

We curse it then and sigh for wings. 

 

We live, we love, we woo, we wed,
We wreathe our prides, we sheet our dead. 

 

We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,
And that’s the burden of a year.

 

You receive Major Donor recognition as an individual or couple when your cumulative personal outright giving has reached that level, regardless of how the gift is designated to be used. Major Donors can choose to receive a crystal piece and a lapel pin or pendant at each new recognition level.

 

More than 30,000 people have become Major Donors since the program began.
