Shadow’s Past in Glory’s Light

A silhouette,

An empty frame,

Of a past that doesn’t remain.

Stumbling, Falling and Up again,

You’re still here; it’s not the end.

 

Gone the regrets,

Gone the fears;

A New Year, it’s already here!

Hope for today, Hope for tomorrow,

The hope lies within you to follow.

 

Out from the dark,

In newness of light;

Stands a tall you, shining bright.

Yearning, Passionate, Full of Love;

The gifts bestowed upon you from above.

 

Begin now,

Begin anew;

Leave a legacy that outlives you.

Dreams, Goals, the Impossible within reach,

The fruit, the harvest in others you teach.

 

Meaning:  You are here for a purpose.  The gifts and talents that come so easily to you are God’s gift through you.  Share the gift.  Leave a legacy.  Begin anew with a “New” you!

May the blessings rain down on you and yours in 2012 and always!

You are Loved,

Laurie Popovich

    Thank you Miz Pops for sharing your gift on the eve of New Year’s Eve. You’ve helped us reflect on where we’ve been, to ponder how we got here and to -and to remind us to focus our priorities on the legacy we leave.

    What a blessing this is!
