A New Year

A New Year is here

new dreams, opportunities and possibilities

new loves, shoes, fashion and jewellery

new holidays, horizons and happenings

 

more wrinkles

more pain

less power

less fame

 

The journey begins

a new end in sight

roads to cross over

and nowhere to stop

inside this ferris wheel

 

A NEW year ? What's NEW ?

And WHY ?

 

Wisdom answered

my mind to console ~

 

"Man does not live by bread alone

but on every word that comes from the mouth of God".

 

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path".

 

"How sweet are your words to my taste,

sweeter than honey to my mouth".

 

I pause my heart,

unwind my mind,

my eyes scan the truth

I hope to find

 

I lay my burden at the foot of His cross

inhale His love, mercy and grace

the new year takes on a new face

I'm ready now to start the race

 

 

May wisdom have it's way

throughout the new year

filled with joy and peace

in new life day by day 

Author's Note

I'm sick in bed with bronchitis...thinking about what lies ahead in 2011...feeling creative...~
The passages in inverted comma are taken from Matthew 4:4; Psalm 119:105 & 103...in that order.
