Another Year...

ANOTHER YEAR …

A New Year is here once more, With its visions of future promise. The old ways passed by, And a fresh start, there for the taking. All is optimism; Gloom is gone! Looking forward to the innocent blossoming of spring Blooming into a youthful, balmy summer. But the world does not change. That beautiful vision of new cleanness Comes from within; From the hope for a better world, And a desire to let the old ways go.

Thank you Lord for giving me The brand new year ahead Help me live the way I should As each new day I tread.

Give me gentle wisdom That I might help a friend Give me strength and courage So a shoulder I might lend.

The year ahead is empty Help me fill it with good things Each new day filled with joy And the happiness it brings.

Please give the leaders of our world A courage born of peace That they might lead us gently And all the fighting cease.

Please give to all upon this earth A heart that's filled with love A gentle happy way to live With Your blessings from above.

A new year is beginning to peak through softly beautiful and different like new falling snow, each day unique and shaped just for you. Your life adding something as each day does grow. My wish for your new year is beauty and softness with surprises thrown in for delight. Love for each day bringing happiness to you, making your life a scene of sparkle and shining sunlight.
