New Beginnings

Fresh fallen snow covers
the ground
blanketing yesterday
bells, fireworks, parades
welcome new beginnings
as we close the door to
yesterday silently with
some regret
we watch the new year
unfurl the gifts of hope
joy and expectation
may we each be blessed by
His guiding hand
to help us grow and understand
lessons hidden in our tribulations
the fire of hope for desired salvation
