Auld Lang Syne

I will change. I will focus new. I will be The new creation that Christ has made me. I His infinite wisdom I know that only He Knows my life’s plan which I’ve yet to see. I am not capable of change on my own, in myself. Obviously, I cannot. I have not. I could not. Or else Clearly, I would have by now, altered this hell… This wasted foolish life I have not lived well. Looking at my life on this New Year’s Eve, I do, at least, have the courage to believe. Please help me, dear God, Your ways to receive-- Not mine. One more chance. One last reprieve. And here it is -- three months have passed... About long enough for such resolutions to last; Therefore, it would seem, the dye has been cast But not necessarily, and not so fast! The awesome thing about life? As long As there is breath, there is hope for song; There can be a righting of any wrong. There can be found your place to belong.
