Notes About The Poem

A New Year Foretold

*****


                  This New Year has been foretold.
                          Your future is at hand.
                  God knows the fate and outcome
                          of each and every man.

                  God has chosen the narrow road.
                      His wisdom is leading the way.
                His great strength can carry your load.
                His compassion you will feel every day.

                   With a new dawn over the horizon,
                     and the Lord to lead the way,
              you can spread your wings like an eagle
                      and soar through every day.

Such a beautiful psalm, through and through. God’s enemies don’t want to read this, meditate on its precious meaning. God bless you, who is beautifully and wonderfully made :)
