A New Year Full of Hopeful Expectations: 2010 Poem of Hope

This year 2010 I pray will leave me humbly thankful yet once again.

My father will be home recovering well from his chemotherapy.

I pray his life will not be in jeopardy.

Dreams of a creative writer's style cookbook fill my mind.

My judge my dinner's recipes have turned out quite fine.

Dreams of more articles to be on the tip of all my dreams.

Will be like a basketful of smiles to hand out for a simple smile in return.

Two daughters I do want the best for their life. One lives far from me and how I wish our homes could be within our heart's range of motion. Just a silly hopeful notion.

Second daughter loved as much as the first needs healing and guidance from her illness born into her. God to bless the man she loves with lots of strong love. Maybe carry this gift to her on the wings of a dove.

Husband of mine to find peace. One, Two, and three of his family members have passed in just a few quick passing years. Love to fill him and keep him and renew his spirit to brand new.

Hopeful thoughts for world peace linger toward more positive tomorrows.

Son-in-law will not need to fight in another war.

He's soon up for retirement.

May his time serving his country be just that.

His time for much earned gratification and well deserved rest.

New Year! New Year! Grant me your best. Send no more trialing test.

Fill my family with renewed hope and gratification.

Let our hearts be free to dance with as many hopes and dreams as we can carry.

Let us God this 2010 be filled with the names Joy and Mary.

Joy as in joyfulness and Mary as in merry.
