Notes About The Poem

July 22, 2025, entered in Constance LaFrance's Three Options in I Contest

      *********************************************************************************

Interlude



Each year I spend a part of New Year’s Day
relaxing, still, in quiet solitude.
Reflecting on the past twelve months, I pray
for strength and wisdom for the brand-new year.
Included in my silent interlude
are pleas to face life's changes without fear.

I thank the Lord for blessings I've received,
including loved ones and all lessons learned.
Life is so good, and I've always believed
my blessings are far more than I have earned.

We are so blessed we don’t even know! The skies filled with sights and sounds, the earth under our feet, and for so many the fruits of their labor and loins. May God bless your week, sweet poet!
