We recollect the year,
Those loved and lost,
Decisions, right and wrong,
We count the cost
In growth and worth,
Another year in passing
In friendships, families,
All love amassing,
In trials, tribulations,
Fought and won,
All effort poured in faith,
This year near done.
Some hours now
To ponder life anew,
No promises, just
Hope and love renew.
Confidence in
Coming days ahead,
Constancy, belief,
No sense of dread.
A providential one,
A year filled with
New treasure,
I wish you this and more
In heartfelt measure.
Happy New Year, dear

Thank you mommus for your lovely poem, a great way to ride the times in. My year has already arrived here (it’s 9am here the 1.1.2014, and I think your new year is nearly upon you!), and if you haven’t guessed, I didn’t get away after all that, still a bit wobbly and not a drop of alcohol to be seen 🙂 Enjoy the celebrations, may the release of the old and the embracing of the new be a blessing for your journey. Love and light, Mark xo
