Ode to 2013

Another year has been thrust upon us, I was glad to see it arrive,

And with great expectations I can say, it is great to be alive,

For I truly expect and have agreed with others, that this year will be the best,

That we have ever had, and we can forget all the bad from all the rest,

I am anxious to see what God has in store, more from Him I’m going to learn,

For all the bridges leading to my past, He has already burned,

I plan to be more passionate, in sharing all the good things He is giving,

And I want His unfailing love, to always be reflected in my living,

That those who are lost and wandering, can start a relationship with Him,

To realize that one really can lead a life, not bogged down in sin,

So I will pass along to you, gifts of blessings and good cheer,

For this year is going to be wonderful, so have a better New Year.
