2010

A very hearty welcome to a brand new year!
January 1 is a time to cheer!
You arrived on time and full of potential
That lasts for twelve months sequential.

Everyone greeted you with such delight
As they rang you in loudly throughout the night.
All the while they were making a brand new decision
That will usually end up marred by spiteful derision.

We all want to be treated with tender, loving care
And to be given our desires with hullabaloo and flare.
But sometimes God has something else in mind,
And gives us our needs with the purpose He designed.

He uses those plans to shape and to mold,
And when we're hardheaded, He sometimes will scold.
As your days pass by, us He will guide
And show us that in Him is where we need to abide.

So thank you in advance for what you will soon teach us.
I am hopeful we will learn without too much of a fuss.
For all that is to come in this new decade, year one,
I pray we will grow to be more like the Son.
