A new dawn
A new year, age-borne
A new reminder of another year gone
An anniversary of that morn when I was born
The pain, the knowledge,the secrets I've
borne
And I still live on
Albeit many regrets
Witnessing so many deaths
Seeing so much strife
Heart breaks like a thousand stabs from a
single knife
Still, all I can do is praise my Creator
Praise my lonely soul's Author
For He's kept me till this moment
Albeit all the despair and torment
He still guides and guards me
His blessings more than the sea
Ignoring all my mistakes
He still soothes all my aches
Giving me solace in stormy weather
Feeding me like He does birds of the Aether
All I can do is glorify Him
And although, so gentle and righteous I may
seem
A sinner I am in His Holy Presence
With mangled thoughts from a gangrene
festooned mind
In me He still finds a loving essence
A wayward lad that gives no mind
A sinful child who seeks favour
And his Father lavishes him with more
As I seek forgiveness do I sin
With a stubborn heart so dark and mean
An heart loath to repent
Buh my Creator dutifully mends my dent
Now a New Era's come with this year
May all this poor sinner's desires be met
To my pleas may God lend an Ear
Now my stage's set
My dice are cast
And I need good changes set in fast
In Joy,Glory,Mercy and Blessings shall I
bask
May I be granted all good I ask
Plenty pay for little tasks
lightening fast strikes against enemy barks
All these I desire oh Lord
Grant them to me with the force of an
everlasting flood
Amen
