The first day of the first month of the new year <br /> God's eternal Love has placed us here <br />When we are open to His Word He stays near <br />May all of us to the Lord's Law lend an ear. <br /> <br />The first day of the first month of the new year <br />Holds promise, hope, and an awesome fear <br />The Lord's Joy in our hearts evokes a tear <br />What a blessing we cannot into 2011 peer. <br /> <br />The first day of the first month of the new year <br />Welcomed at the stroke of midnight clear <br />Amidst festivities celebrated with cheer <br />Includes families and friends we hold dear. <br /> <br /> <br /> © Mel Patterson - 1-1-11<br /><br />Carmela Patterson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/first-day-of-the-first-month-of-the-new-year/
