FacebookFor The New Year
To those who gather family near,
Or are alone from year to year,
To those who give and who receive,
To those who may or not believe,
I send these words across the miles,
And right next door, where waits a child,
In hopes of better days ahead,
For peace, with no more tears to shed,
For love of earth and love of man,
For reaching out to all we can,
To stop wars here and in far lands,
To mute the guns and soothe the cries
Of innocents, make safe their lives.
Hope can rise when fear is gone,
Life is strong, free to go on.
When greed abounds, no good can grow,
Nor mercy thrive, nor justice flow.
New Year bells must righteous ring,
O’er everyone and everything,
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
And Happy New Year, is my wish for you

Time
Time has gone by, drifting slowly
I have lived through everything else but this
Time has been abolished
I remember a time when all I knew was that everyone loved me for who I was
Time is now complete
I have shared my heart with no one
Time has stopped for those memories
In some pictures, I see a happy me
But in other pictures, I don’t see anything related to happiness
Time has uttered to a stop for me
Time has stopped for the past but continues to the future
