New Year 2016

At New Year as you stand on the threshold
Of a pathway that is still unknown;
Will you grasp the welcome unseen hand
Or will you just keep on struggling alone.

The road ahead is not always smooth
There will be some pitfalls along the way
And when you come to the first crossroads
You are lost – and look on with dismay.

For you didn’t stop to view the signs
That were put there for you to use;
But no pressure is put upon you
You can still take the way you choose.

You may start with many resolutions
As the bright New Year begins;
But in a short week or two you’ll find
It’s the same old way – that wins.

Now! Just look at what is really important
The things You Want the most in your life; Is it more power – or large stacks of wealth
Luxurious holidays for your family and wife

Or striving for that special trophy or cup
That always seems to be out of reach; Or maybe like the young plain girl now
Who wants a soft skin just like a peach.

Why keep on struggling through the years
Be content and happy now as your are;
Everyone born here on earth is unique
Created like the bright shining star

Material things have a role to play
But are flirting for they’re not Divine;
You may find out it's only Love and Joy
That can withstand the real test of time.
