January 01st, 2019

a new year breathed in
with a gift of Hope it begins
the energy at last was given
as the spirit wind watched and laughed

through the countless stars that light the sky
a shooting star flew on by
and registered it’s name as wonder
for the year that just has past
dedicated to the souls
that are free to journey home at last

lets hold our arms up high
and smile and wave goodbye
and hold a beggars bowl out
that is now empty except for this hope

and our souls are fed
by the beauty of life
and the millions who offer goodwill
instead of the price of penitence

for kindness overcomes the hate
and there is a purpose that drives our fate
and it leads us to pray and meditate
and find that hope to celebrate

each heart that recognizes love
feeds all the starving souls
with the the pure energy that is shown
to share this hope as a common goal
