CHEERS TO 2014

                     WITH A PRAYERFUL HEART

As another year
Draws to a close
Like a story book
It was written and ends
Just so…

The hand that scribbles
Gives us hope, adventure, dreams
The One who wrote the year for us
Makes sure we believe in Him!

I am here to thank
The Author, the Creator, the Artist
For filling my life this year
With the following gifts:

The present and presence
Of my family
Their love and understanding
For their just being with me.

For my best friends, my dear friends
They number few
But how happy I am
That for another year
They have been true!

Am grateful for the
Trying times
When all felt lost
Hopeless and discouraging…
I might not have appreciated
Freedom from it all
Had I not felt bound by unseen
Cords…

And for moments of joy and laughter
After some tears shed
Let me say, I am glad!

Thank You Lord
For these 365 days
At each dawn and dusk
You have me believe
Trust and Accept
Your ways!

I loved the year and all it brought
And I wish with a
Prayerful heart
That the New Year be
Just as wonderful if not more glorious
Than this last, was!
