A New Years Promise

A new sunrise, a new beginning Now, is the time to keep the promises Everything in my life changing Weakness withers as courage rises Years, months, days of endless crying Each glistening tear fades A ***** feeling Relax, Lord, my weary muscles Stop the wind and the roaring Past the safety of lies Rocking, soothed in storytelling O, mere scraps, odds and ends of fantasies Misty, pieces of truth, falling I, the weaving spider cries Stop, time to start the living End the weeping before life fades __________________________ January 7, 2013 Poetry/Acrostic/A New Years Promise Copyright Protected, ID 01-447-670-07 All Rights Reserved, 2013, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, New Years Acrostic, Judged 01/2013 Third Place
