The start of a new year is
always a treat,
A time to rejoice, to hear
a new beat,
A time full of hope for
what lies ahead,
And yet every new year is
oft filled with dread.
Who knows what will happen
as months move along?
Who knows who is weak and
who will be strong?
What dangers appear in the
dark of the night?
And where will we discover
a source of delight?
A new year is always a
mixture of fears,
A wonderment ready to
bring us to tears.
For we cannot know how the
days will proceed,
We’re caught in the flow,
and don’t know what will lead
Us into disaster or
unbounded joy,
We truly can’t guess what
each day will employ
To bring us temptation, or
help us to be
The hero or villain in
life’s mystery.
And if we have nothing to
trust but ourselves,
We never are sure what is
left on the shelves
Of the skills and resources
that we have to use
In facing the future to
win or to lose.
But when we discover that
God’s by our side,
We just might consider
reducing our pride,
And trust in God’s presence
to help us get through
The challenge and struggle
that we run into.
For we’re not alone in
facing today,
Nor facing the future that’s
headed our way.
With God ever present, we
know we can last,
For God was our strength
in the days that are past.
And should things be
different, and life were to cease,
We know in the end, we’ll
reside in God’s…
Peace,
