Happy New Year, Happy New Day

 

Happy New Year, Happy New Day

i reflectively consider the road now traveled

and the times i have passed through

the memories are mine to keep

of all the thing i still pursue

the year has come, the year has gone

and all that remains is its ether

there is but thoughts that wander about

and my memories as a seeker

many things i did not find, and that is ok

for the task before me still prevails

i am not that rudderless ship wandering

upon life’s seas with empty sails

there is hope in the winds of my heart

and it is the power i hold to transcend

for each year, each moment is but a part

of this journey that has no end

there are many fruits and flowers along this road

for each soul to eat their own fill

it is not by chance that goodness comes to us

it is by our love for the journey by our will

so going forward i must without exception

and may we all be focused on life’s task

and what may fail us in understanding

just go to that God within and ask

Happy New Year, Happy New Day
