THE YEAR JUST AHEAD

                                         

​                                       THE YEAR JUST AHEAD

                              There're brilliant canvases to be hung
                              And new songs to be sung
                              There's daily tasks to be done
                              And glorious victories to be won
                              In the year just ahead.

                              There're old sins to be forsaken
                              And reaching hands to be shaken
                              There're steep mountains to be climbed
                              And terse poems to be rhymed
                              In the year just ahead.

                              There're marvelous visions to be revealed
                              And wounded souls to be healed
                              There're accomplishments to be measured
                              And family moments to be treasured
                              In the year just ahead.

                              There're prayers to be said
                              And hungry children to be fed
                              There're sheep to be shepherded
                              And little lambs to be led
                              In the year just ahead.
