Let 2010 Begin!
Posted: January 3, 2010
Contemplating a new year and a new decade…
The end of a decade,
(the start of one more)
gives pause to consider
what life has in store.
A stock market rally?
Our troops coming home?
Will death rob our parents
and leave one alone?
The house market rebounds?
Will GM and Ford?
Will a struggling marriage
be doomed or restored?
Will healthcare unite us
or tax us to death?
Will science discover
a cure to bad breath?
Will sex scandals topple
the ones we admire?
Will faith make a comeback?
Will mentors inspire?
A new year? New decade?
The chance for fresh starts?
Let's dance with new choices
with hope in our hearts.
But if peace alludes
both Iran and Iraq,
this might be the decade
that Christ will come back.
