New Year's Meditation

by

Evelyn D. Bennett

To all who would make these words

their own, "Happy New Year!"

Relax and let go of thoughts

On things that happened yesterday,

On things that happened in the past,

And on things that might happen today.

Let go and take hold of this very moment.

Relax and let God

Guide you and guard you,

Heal you, comfort you,

Prosper and Bless you --

Know in you heart

You are now at the gate

Of the happiest of years --

And for this, give thanks!
