Last Poem of 2013

2013 is at its end
days and words gone
I celebrate alone
it is quiet
quiet is good...

I light a candle.

What the New Year will bring
I do not know
only God knows
my life for Him to know

I cannot know.

Whatever I did was wrong
this I know
whoever I met to forget
I know

Everything was for love.

Love is why I'm here
love is why I believe
anything can be achieved in life
New Years most glorious light

is sweet hope
2013 is gone
dead is the year...
