Everything hasty
gone to seed
Bedside prayers
rise silent
from hearts in despair
Glory gone but
hope rises like tomorrow’s dawn
Joy smiles wisely
under confetti skies
Gentle snow
clings diligently to
frost-blown pane
Greater still the glory
dying like evening sun
bringing glory
to glory
Promise in wilderness rest
product of grace fulfilled
in time
Shalom –
nothing missing
everything in place

Blessings on this coming year for you as well. May it be the best year you have ever had and may you know how wide, how deep and how high God’s love is for you.

Especially poignant! Prayers for your friend. Another year closes. Soon, 7 years w/o his presence! His Grin! His humor! His hugs! Your friend ‘needs’ a friend who will just listen and write her poetry. I think you are the chosen!
But with great joy I wish you a very happy new year of His live and presence with everyday you face. And light in the night!

You are a person who understands, Bonnie. In spite of your great pain you demonstrate joy and are a light to others. Your husband was -and is- a wonderful man. May you feel closer to the Saviour even this night.
