Another year begins. 

The next trip around the sun. 

A time to remember. 

A time to dream. 

**

Twenty four hours 

Marking the anniversary of

Arriving here on earth

Can feel pretty special.  

**

This year, this day

Feelings welling up. 

Overwhelmed by deep 

Gratitude. 

**

Thankful for:

Family who understand. 

Friends who listen well. 

Freedom of time to create.  

Faith in Your unchanging Love. 

And countless more. 

**

In the year ahead 

Let me Be

Even more present. 

Thankful for each moment. 

For this day, this life is a 

Gift.
