I placed another calendar
today upon the wall
and pondered on the coming year
and just what may befall . . .
in all the days and weeks and months
before the year has fled
I wondered about
the road that lies ahead.
The days, like jig-saw puzzles, pass
Some happy, full of fun
Some full of sorrow and of pain. . .
We take them as they come.
We strive to put each in its place
as through the year we thread . . .
Sometimes, a hopeless puzzle seems
the year that lies ahead.
I look at the new calendar
and wonder that I might see
what beyond tomorrow lies
what's waiting there for me.
But, God in His far wiser way
makes a time book unread
and we must walk in hope and faith
the road that lies ahead

May 2007 bring much joy to your lives!

ohhhhhhhhhhh dear Margie
ReplyDeleteI am not sure how this is "affecting" me... balancing light and shadow - hope and fear of the unknown. Hmmm
Somehow, a new year for me has always been a brand new page full of possibilities and no doubts; as if everything would be/is possible, as if all dreams would/will come to flourish as the year unfolds.
Today is a good day ... THE END
Big Hug
A wonderful way to launch us into the New Year. Thank you Margie.
