A word for the new year
For my heart’s desire to now cherish and embrace
A word for the new year
Planted to grow, to blossom your fruit to appear
As guilt and worry with divine love to replace
All of God’s riches are found in his unearned grace
A word for the new year.

A Rondelet written for Poets United
Grace is my word chosen for One Word 365 and My One Word
Gracefully echoed in each carefully placed word..beautiful
ReplyDelete"unearned grace"
ReplyDeletelovely, lovely
"Grace" definitely is a beautiful word for the year, Alan! Good choice indeed.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of grace replacing "guilt and worry". I wonder whether you will find that your view of 'grace' is enriched at the end of the year.
ReplyDelete"All of God’s riches are found in his unearned grace."
ReplyDeleteTouching. :)
Alan,
ReplyDeleteI embrace your consideration of grace and of the riches we enjoy all year, provided by God. An importance in my own world as well.

Guilt and worry are 2 things worthy of being replaced!
ReplyDeleteNo better word with which to begin the year. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWith Grace we have to walk at the Earth as we share all gifts we got for free ~ just not all yet understand, feel it...
ReplyDeleteGraceful by nature, with the Grace of God, Grace is most fitting and apt. Wonderful Rondelet, alan!
