Old year ends at last
And new begins with a blast
Resolutions task.

Promises to self
For blessings,health 'n wealth
Dreams upon the shelf.

Another year I enter
Its history unknown
Oh, how my feet would tremble
To tread its paths alone!
But I have heard a whisper,
I know I shall be blest;
My presence shall go with thee,
And I will give thee rest.
What will the New Year bring me?
I may not, must not know;
Will it be love and rapture,
Or loneliness and woe?
Hush! Hush! I hear His whisper;
I'm sure I shall be blest;
My presence shall go with thee,
and I will give thee rest.

New Beginnings
by PurkleRose

I see the field where life does grow
in patches green from down below
where now we walk thru seeds once sown
a time of new beginning

We look not back from whence we came
or where we go it's all the same
where life's within a picture frame
in times of new beginning

Hold not for what tomorrow brings
to change your life, so many things
the bell once tolled, no longer rings
for a time of new beginning

Give not to sadness, enjoy the smiles
In fields, once yielded to the plow
come lay with me for just a while
This time of new beginning

So look now deep into my eyes
enjoy this time for how it flies
of gentle moans and tender sighs
for us and new beginnings.

May God make your year a happy one!
by Imp Bumpsy:

Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain,
But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes

Not by making your path easy,
But by making you sturdy to travel any path;

Not by taking hardships from you,
But by taking fear from your heart;

Not by granting you unbroken sunshine,
But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows;

Not by making your life always pleasant,
But by showing you when people and their causes need you most,

and by making you anxious to be there to help.
God’s love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year ahead

The End

Moving
by ~Journay~

Why is it, when people move to a new place
That ancient dilemma, one more time they have to face?
Simplify and give away with much grace
Or in their new home find more room, more space.
In our life, go to a new emotional stage
We carry our old sadness, guilt, and rage
Simplifies, throws away garbage, the sage
But others will just carry till old age.

Group Poem on New Beginnings
by The Group

Before dawn or day began, the New year did
bringing us hope of things to come
fresh pages on the calendar
the pages that won't turn over until November
waiting to be filled with dreams to come
new adventures to be had
and new loves to be found
with the sun rising at dawn, all beginnings show great promise
and the hint of soooo much fun online with all of y'all
Until another beginning fades into the past
and will create many memories that last.
