One more year will soon be done.
This "space in time" it's course has run.
Hopefully it's lessons will
Have added wisdom, added skill.
Let all we've learned in this past year
Be building blocks which persevere,
Contributing to higher goals,
Guiding us in all our roles.
Whatever lessons - good or bad -
Have value they can surely add
To make the new year better still
And all it's days with wisdom fill.
To let this year just slip away
And all it's riches not survey
Would cause it's purpose to be lost,
And this might be too high a cost.
"See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil."
Ephesians 5:15-16 KJV
