A New Slate

The old year is gone
And with it the dreams
Perhaps not fulfilled in 0-Seven.
But just as surely
A new year has come,
A gift from our Father in Heaven.
A chance for redemption
A chance to pursue
The ending of old dreams
Beginning of new.
Thanks be to God for
The blessings bestowed
And the strength that he gives us
To carry the load.
The new year has come
And with it the dreams
As yet to come true in 0-Eight.
Forgetting the past
And looking ahead
Give thanks that it isn't too late.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
