My Last Poem of 2013

As twenty-thirteen draws to an end,
I think about my many old friends
and wonder what became of them.

An New Year will soon be here,
a year full of both hope and fear,
a year that will swiftly pass,
like sands though an hour glass.

I wonder what adventures the New Year will bring,
I wonder what new songs I will sing,
I wonder if I will survive twenty-fourteen
to see another New Year's Eve.

As twenty-thirteen draws to an end,
I look forward to making new friends,
I look forward to proclaiming
the Glory of God to humanity.
