COUNTING IT ALL JOY!
New Beginnings
January is short cold days
With long wintry nights
Fresh starts as the ball drops
Goals before us
As we step forward
In expectation
Never wavering
Each new day
A new adventure
Endless opportunities
As old doors close
New ones open
With new pages to write upon
Our story fresh and new
As January starts
The new year
With a new chapters
To write
A new adventure
Day by day
Each page
A new day to start
With fresh beginnings
