As I look

As I look back

I see the tears

Tears of joy

Tears of sadness

 

I see love

Love for self

Love for others

Love for me

Love unknown

 

I see anger

Anger at self

Anger at life

Anger towards others

Anger at the world

Anger at God

 

 

I see wishes

Wishes for more

Wishes for change

Wishes for peace

Wishes for love

Wishes untold

 

I see family

My natural family

My inherited family

My worldly family

My inevitable family

My family of friends

Families just made

Families still to come

 

I see dreams

Dreams come true

Dreams yet to be dreamt

Dreams lost

Dreams yet to materialise

Dreams to be

 

I see smiles

Smiles of loved ones

Smiles of self

Smiles of those I now know

Smiles of those I’ll never know

Smiles hidden from others

Smiles too precious to ignore

Smiles so true they remind one of God’s love

 

I see me

I see you

I see them

I see us

I see God at work.

As I look back..

 

 

When I look at this year I can smile a broad smile

I can grin shamelessly

This year was indeed a year of blessings

I look forward to the years to come

With a grin once again

No grimace on the horizon

Just simple glee

The new beginnings of 2008 have started to bear fruit

I cannot wait for the future!
