An old year ends. A new year starts.
Time marches on. And yet
we can’t help pondering the past
and choices we regret.

We grieve the times we failed to love
the way that Jesus would.
We rue the chances that we had
to do the things we should.

A listening ear. A warm embrace.
A word that shows we care.
These simple acts that have no cost
are priceless cause they’re rare.

Sadly the past cannot be changed.
We can’t undo what’s done.
We can, however, start anew.
A new year has begun!
