New Year's Eve...

Not so caught up in selfish gain
That I would fail to see
The things in life that mean the most
Cost not a fancy fee.

 

The warm, kind word that I can give,
The outstretched hand to help,
The prayers I pray for those in need--
More precious these than wealth.

 

I know not what may lie ahead
Of laughter or of tears;
I only need to know each day
That You are walking near.

 

I'm thankful for this approaching brand New Year
As now I humbly pray,
My hand secure in Yours, dear Lord,
Each step along the way.
