Prayer for new year

The night closes on year
The memories things of past
Some are dears to cherish
Others memories last

In truth this year it passed
With its share of pain
Some are things fast gone
And others still remain

The children’s face is etched
Forever in my mind
In dreams I see them still
Forever heart of mine

I look to year that’s new
With hope that better comes
With prayers blessings all
With days of warmth and sun

The new year it comes soon
With blessings and with tears
Forever a changed man
Who lived through cleansing fears

My prayer it comes soon
With blessings for all man
My prayer most sincere
Searching for Gods plan

The future comes so fast
Time waits for no one
With some fears and with hope
This multitude of man

I look to days of hope
And search for amends
Eternal optimist
Disasters meant to rend

The future holds no fear
Forever follow his plan
Again prayers dear
For brotherhood and for man
