As I woke each morning, in this past year,
I offered prayerful thanks to my Father above
for protection in a world full of dread and fear.
I owe my life and all I have to my God of love.
I'm beholding for so much more than I can ever say,
from burdens this year, He eased my sorrow and pain.
Goodbye 2015. Hello to the new year on the way.
In God's good graces, I pray I shall ere remain.
I give thanks for nourishment through spiritual food,
for good health, family, my new friends and the old.
I'm indebted for my pen and the poems that ensued,
and for friendly poets who never let my soup get cold.
My gratitude runs deep for forgiving my sins of the past
and for giving me ample courage when I need to stand.
The year now ending has been no worse then the last,
Thank You, God, for holding on to my outstretched hand.
I'm so grateful to You God for being my friend and my shield,
seeing some good in me instead of seeing a weed in the field.
Another year of honoring Your name is now drawing to its end,
Gracious Father, I humbly thank You for the blessings You send.
