(I peeked at the Poetry Workshop and they were doing iambic pentameter. I'm trying to write one here, hoping it's done right. Somebody, please tell me??)

I pray each night as I lay down to sleep
that I find peace in dreams devoid of strife,
My soul may travel far in worlds unknown,
or find a path that leads to darkened woods.
If in the morn I wake up fresh as dew,
for this new day that I am still alive,
for this new year unfolding like a bud,
I thank our God this miracle He grants.

I wish for all a Happy New Year, too!
May kindness, peace and love be yours to have.
