Fifty Two Whole New Weeks

Life is filled with many surprises
each year brings many a change
never knowing what's next on horizon
from many angles no matter the range

Fifty two weeks in the year
each one brings something new
such is the variety of life
what'll be next? don't have a clue

Next year could bring life's end
you can never really know
only God knows your final date
He gives each breath till we go

But be positive about these weeks
fifty two is really quite a lot
many a good thing can happen
think of past blessings you've got

Remember to be thankful for the past
no matter what tomorrow may bring
as long as you've breath in your mouth
raise your voice to thankfully sing

A very profound and pithy write, Gordon, with the basic truths about life- we know the past but not tomorrow, so we must live each day with hope in Him Who holds everything in time and space.
