My First Poem of the New Year

A New Year

As I sit me down to type,
I will not groan,
I will not gripe,
About the things from this year past,
That I am glad are gone at last.
Instead, I'll kneel and say a prayer,
For the love and kindness,
And the care,
I'm given each and every day,
Which help to carry me on my way.
And as I give my thanks with cheer,
I'll wish us all a bless'd new year!
