New Year Shower.

Goldfinch60

I step into the shower this New Year’s Day,

The water washes over me,

Cleansing me,

Cleansing me of the old year,

Removing my worries,

Removing my troubles.

As I step out

I step into the New Year,

A year that will be good to me.

I have my lover still with me,

I have family around me,

I have My Spirit going through me.

My Spirit will carry me through,

Through the year,

But most of all,

I have me.

I step out of the shower

Knowing that I am still here,

Still here for another year,

Another year to enjoy,

To enjoy and move forward,

Move forward into Life,

Into a Good Life.

    Good write Gold. It reminds me of a hymn, 'One more step along the world I go'. I've a hymn-poem on it somewhere, though to difficult metre I recall!

            Goldfinch, this is a great poem, a great metaphor of washing off the old and stepping all fresh and good smelling into the new. While the 1st of January is a new beginning, it is also just a new day, and at my age I am thankful for every new day. And you are right, it is a good life!!!

            • Goldfinch60

              Thank you Fred, I too am the same age as you and every time I get up in the morning I know it will be a good day.
