Dear sweet friend
How blessed
I be
To know and love
A friend like thee.
Dear sweet friend
No judgement
Ever do I feel
Only love, respect
And dignity.
Dear sweet friend
I hope to be
The same for you
As you have been
To me.

Dear Lord help
Me understand.
Dear Lord help
Me follow
Your command.

Let me take the steps needed
To go in the direction
Necessary and okay
Today, tomorrow and yesterday.

Where are we going?
How long will we stay?
Are our friends coming with us?
Is our life in disarray?
No answer to these questions
No words will make the wrong okay
All I can do is wonder
Cause tomorrow will bring answers
I’m asking for today.

What has happened?
What will be today?
No one telling’
Just moving, moving on their way.
Couldn’t hear directions
Couldn’t see the way
Couldn’t, couldn’t remember my journey
From that other day.
Must trust the Master
Must believe, believe he’ll guide me
On this that is
My journey’s way.

Good beginnings
Caress the past
Moving forward
Beyond the last
Making new ones
As they come to be.
No one knows
Just what’s in store
Only that the way
Is open and
Pulls us through
Here to this day.
Showing
Another time
Beginning now today
But always, always
Starting yesterday.

Last day of a time gone thru
When everything’s done
Came back lived by me, by you.
Looking forward to days ahead
Not back at neither sorrow or dread
Only joy, “Remember it” she said.
Bring it forward to this New Year
Live it to the fullest
With much good cheer!

Courage
to understand.
Strength
to get it done.
Tolerance
to know
not everyone
is the same one.
Kindness
to guide
yourself and
those lost.
Awareness
to know when
and what.
Yourself
That’s all
it costs.

Snow soft and white
Piling up
Has been all night.
Quietly falling
Covering
Blanketing all that shows.
The sun will rise
Shining bright
On snow covered fields
Blessed
With a insulating layer of white.
