It’s already time for a brand New Year

Filled with new hope, dreams and some cheer.

For many their prospects are filled with great joy

While others the forecast may seem a bit grim.

Perhaps we can change the Year 20 and 10

And make it a season for our world to mend.

 

A year of forgiving,

A year of great love,

One of abundance sent from above.

A year without conflict,

A year where wars end,

 A time where the goodness of angels commend.

 

A year of good fortune,

A year without hate,

When lies and untruths and battles abate.

A year where one’s word

Can be totally trusted,

Where nothing is left but goodwill and justice.

 

A year without fear,

A year where we’ve learned

Those rainbows are just around the next turn.

A year where we find

That we are not lost,

That life must be lived no matter the cost.

 

A year that we take

One step at a time

Trusting to see and feel the sublime.

A very deep breath

And we’re on our way

To making each moment a true New Year’s Day.

 

 

May your coming year be filled with love,

safe-keeping and prosperity.
