2012

I'm sitting in a room that doesn't feel like my own And working on a post with a melancholy tone Having come through the year that was more hell than heaven I gladly say farewell to the fading 2011 I have fought with both my faith and sense of direction And tried so very hard to show Christlike affection I've grown in some ways, and my vices tried to shelve Now I hope for so much more come 2012 I am clueless as to why things have been such a fight I have fought with self and demons through many a night I pray that God sees fit to set me down in green Cuz the desert of this year has been far too mean Maybe the past trials have been for my refinement But I so badly desire some easier assignments Whatever comes my way in this year that is dawning I will need His strength for my resolve is yawning. The key to living every year with peace and joy intact I believe is to depend on God for everything I lack. If I can find the rest that I know God's gladly giving Through this and every year to come, I'll have joy in simply living.
