A year's ahead -
replete with possibility.
We want it rich
with all the best
and no regrets.
And at this NOW,
this razor-edge of time
at which the future possibility
comes to pass,
or joins the failures of the past...
at this NOW,
the only opportunity
in which those hopes
may reach reality...
how to be rid,
and not increase,
this load
of disappointing failure?
Lord God,
I cannot change
the past -
forgive my guilt!
Nor can I fail to miss
each moment
and all your glorious best for me,
except you help me
now!
