Happy New Year to you all. If you partied last night and are a little
worse off for wear this morning, then go and make a pot of coffee and we'll
have breakfast together. You may live half way across the world or simply
around the corner, but through the Internet, we are brought together. I am
sitting here in my kitchen, the rest of the household still asleep, and yet I
am with you, as I sip my coffee, and talk to you on this chilly but bright day.
Waking up this morning, realising another year has gone by, we reflect over precious
times; wondering what the future holds in store, and what the coming year will
bring. Making new year's resolutions is easy, but keeping them; that's the hard
part! My new year's resolution will be the same as it's always been; to enjoy
life to full, not waste a moment and spend as much time as possible with those
I love. I thought I would start the new year off with a poem. I wrote this in
2011, but it was written about an event that nearly cost me my life. The human
spirit is extremely resilient, and clearly I have much left to do in this life,
otherwise I don't think I would still be here. I have not published this poem
before, so you are the first to see it:
A Wish
By Elaine Benton © 2011
Adorning endless skies of blue,
Feathery clouds gently float,
Lightly moving with soft winds,
I heavenly sail a cosmic boat.
Darkness falls, tiny lights appear,
Brilliant stars illuminate the
night,
Grant my wish, star vivid up high,
With all my heart, my eyes close
tight,
I once journeyed to the other side,
But twas not my time to leave,
Back to life, earthbound once more,
I've more time than you believe.
