for the beginning of a new year
showers sunbeams as promised
that touches the face of a day dried tear
Thoughts of yesterday filled with ‘I should’
only to be words spoken of self yearnings,
as one thinks of tomorrow with ‘I will’
that brings to life new twists and turnings
Time sped on as one lingered in life
feeling youth shall remain forever a fortnight,
young minded dreams are created for a lifetime
to fulfill a destiny that is a soul given right
Taunted with age, lines of wisdom on a brow
brings reality half of thee is buried to stay,
dreams of goals not completed today and
time for completion has gone away –
as the looking glass reveals its
long ago display of youthful dreams
Blessings for the New Year from
