A New Year's Poem

We thank you God for the year past

joys and sorrows

achievements and failures

growth and loss

We offer you

all we have done

and all we've left undone

who we have become and

who we never will be

 

We thank you, God for the new year

hopes and fears

potential and challenge

what will happen to us

and what we'll make of it

We offer you

all we'll do

and all we'll leave undone

who we'll become and

how we will not change

 

We resolve to live in circles of gathering

in the sacred space

you hold for us

larger circles

of community

smaller circles

of relationships

everyone in the circle

no one without

a circle

We hold spaces in the circles of our lives

for others to grow

and live

and become

who they are

spaces for us

to grow

and live

and become

who we are

We are free persons

free families

free communities

free to create our future

become what we want to be

who we want to be

 

Life is learning

to want the best for us

look at each other

look in ourselves

to catch a reflection

of God

 

Pay attention to these reflections

and mirror

the life of God

in our life

in our life together

And that knowledge

guides our choices

and gives shape

to our dreams                  (ŠJack F. Price 2010)

 

Thanks for continuing to bless me as we journey together.
