New Years Eve 2013
“How Lucky Am I”
By:
Janette Spencer Sprankle
On this New Year’s Eve
As I’m sitting in my house,I think about the past year
And all I’ve shared with my spouse,
And I think,…..how lucky am I.
Of course I have thought
What the New Year might bring,Maybe some happiness and joy
When the bells at midnight ring,
And I think,…..how lucky am I.
Sometimes I feel cold
As the furnace kicks on,And as the fire in the stove is glowing
I start to feel comfy and warm,
And I think,…..how lucky am I.
I have food in the fridge
I have clothes on my backA roof over head
With a bed to lay down for a nap,
And I think,…..how lucky am I.
Other folks don’t know
Where theirs can be found,
And I think,…..how lucky am I.
I woke up this morning
With more health than not,I feel abundantly blessed
Because there are those who did not,
And I think,…..how lucky am I.
There is so much I’ve never
had to endure,Like danger and battle
And all that’s unsure,
And I think,…..how lucky am I.
And so now with my heart
As it overflows with love and concern,Are wishes for those in need
For blessings like warmth, love, homes and all that they yearn,
Because I think it’s their turn to say,……how lucky am I.
My
prayer is for all Americans to spread love, affection and warmth around them
and make it a point to SMILE! Go out of
your way to help those in need. They may
have nothing, but we have everything! We
have so much to be thankful for. We need
to appreciate what we do have and strive to make our country stronger and an
even better place for our children and for our children to raise their children
and grandchildren. They are the future!
Happy New Year to all, from my home to
yours!
Love to all,Janette
