Old Year Passing.....

 Old year 2010 candle.....
New Year's candle 2011......
A Christmas gift from my daughter,
a beautiful white lantern
giving off just the right amount of light...
winter mood light. Cozy is a good word
for sitting in candle-light.
As I sat gazing, I've been thinking of how soon
the old year will be passing.....
2010
...never to be spoken in the present tense again.
The year will end as though a candle were snuffed out.
It's been a tumultous year with a great deal
 of sadness for many throughout the world.
-
My "New Year's Prayer"  will be that
just as the old year ends, there will be
renewed  hope, joy and peace for everyone.
-
Happy New Year!
and God Be With You
