New Years Eve 2010

It's New Year's Eve of 2010
I am sitting in peace, my face filled with a grin
A bunch of teen kids are laughing just in range of my ear
Makes my heart warmed, to have them all here

Then just a bit further down the hall is more giggles galore
It's my youngest on a movie "date" with the daddy she so does adore
The fire pit is burning, the familiar smells stir memories of times past
I sit and I savour, knowing its fleeting so fast

An end of a year that I was certain had just only begun
Yet here we are sharing the final evening of fun
Time is so funny, sometimes long, but then gone
Life is so perplexing as it tarries along

A New year will come, in just moments from now
Another beginning comes only after the other closes somehow
Cherish we must, these moments in time
Each one such a gift, so one of a kind

2010 a year never to exist in our ever again
A season of time shared with coworkers, family, and precious friends
Some beautiful ups and some difficult downs ran the course through this year
Yet through every moment, Christ hovered, ever so near

So as the laughter erupts from the kids and their friends
And the snuggles of daddy daughter time for this year comes to an end
My heart overflows and I am humbled to tears
Love conquers all and erases all fear

I know not what tomorrow or the new year shall bring
Yet I feel such excitement as the New Year soon shall we ring
I may not know of my future or what it may hold
But I know it is held by my Savior, whom in His way will unfold

All that is ahead is already entrusted to God
He knows what we need and of where we shall trod
I will reflect on the past and remember how faithful He's been
And I will anticipate His goodness and trust only in Him

I will remember my Eathan and the lessons his life still creates
I will treasure the moments of my every heartbeat
I will celebrate the joys of the highs of the days that are granted my way
And I will hold fast in the lows and in His promises I'll stay

Yes, It's New Year's Eve of 2010
I am sitting in peace, my face filled with a grin


Happy New Year Everyone! I must run now and lite a sparkler with a bunch of kids!

Love to all!
