The Gift From God

                      The Gift from God
		
                On January 1st a baby was born. 
                The world celebrated’.
		This baby, this gift from God, we named 2024.
		Three hundred sixty-five days more,
		To better ourselves, His image to adore.

		Now 2024 is gently sighing.
		From December 25th to the 31st, it is dying.
		Look back upon the gift of days,
		Did you with thoughts or deeds, 
		God’s heart amaze?

		Were you grateful, loving and kind,
		Did you make God smile in your mind?
		Are you worthy of the gift soon to arrive,
		The newborn baby we will call 2025?
