I ponder my past,

stepping to the future while

living out this day.

I live out this day

with my dreams of tomorrow.

I pray to do good.

I have lost so much,

and I will lose so much more,

yet hope is not lost.

Bells ring around me.

This morning's light rises new.

Life and hope remain.

I close out this year

and begin with hope, to love

both God and myself.

I regret having

lavished love on one who crushed

my then open heart.

Nervous. Unstable.

That is how I'm around you,

when your eyes meet mine.
