God grant us this year a wider view
So we can see others’ faults through the eyes of YOU.
Teach us to judge not with hasty tongue,
Neither THE ADULT … nor THE YOUNG.
Give us patience and grace to endure
And a stronger faith so we feel secure,
And instead of remembering, help us to forget
The irritations that caused us to fret,
Freely forgiving for some offence
And finding each day a rich recompense
In offering a friendly, helping hand
And trying to understanding
That ALL OF US whoever we are
Are trying to reach ‘an unreachable star’ -
For the GREAT and SMALL … the GOOD and BAD,
The YOUNG and OLD … the SAD and GLAD
Are asking today, IS LIFE WORTH LIVING?
and the ANSWER is only in LOVING and GIVING-
For only LOVE can make mankind
And KINDNESS of HEART brings PEACE of MIND,
And by giving love we can start this year
to lift the clouds of HATE and FEAR.
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Ephesians 4:32 NIV
Priscilla Gaston
