Notes About The Poem

To walk with Jesus is to have no regrets

New Years Day 2023

New Years Day 2023
By Franklin Price
01/01/2023

It is another New Years morn
The year is twenty twenty-three
I awoke with my Christ Jesus 
Dwelling deep inside of me

This day is also Sunday
I will worship in his church
A week ago was Christmas
The day we celebrate his birth

He walks beside me every day
 Guides my every step through life
Has brought me through another year
In which He took my darling wife

He took away her hurt and pain
She's with him on Heaven's shore
When New Years falls on Sunday next
It will be twenty thirty-four

Christ may call me home by then
To join her by His side
In any case, He's always with me
In His comfort I abide

For those of you who read this
I pray you also take His hand
And believe He will return for you
And take you to the promised land

May this year of twenty twenty-three
Bring you joy and peace and love
I pray you believe in Jesus
For He is watching from above
