A New Leaf

image source

Another year has come and gone,

and a new one is upon us.

As time marches forward,

and we celebrate and ponder,

this mystery called life,

let us not forget the

impact that we have,

on this earth we live on,

and the people that surround us.

Though we all have our own path,

we all walk a common road.

We are all here on this earth,

to help each other out.

This is a simple lesson to learn,

but the hardest one to follow.

Greed and hate seem to have

taken over, and left only

loss and sorrow.

But a new dawn is upon us,

this you can be sure.

All the greed and pain can

be overcome,

if we all work together,

and help our fellow man.

There has always been peace

and light in this land,

but lately it's been hiding,

waiting for a new day to dawn,

and all God's people to follow.

So, lets all turn a new leaf

in this coming new year,

and all walk in peace and love,

and remember why we are here.

  4. let's say less good words when our nature does not accept a lot of civilized stories; when we are still animal but sec by sec try to imagine we are not. I don't know why but I do like to imagine as well...

  7. A lovely sentiment. I also have a blog devoted to peace, poetry and inspiring quotes. I have found that the words of wisdom offered in poems reach the hearts of troubled souls more efficiently and deeply than with any other method.

    Best wishes for a happy and peaceful 2010.
