Reflections of this year and the New Year

In The Year Twenty Twenty-Five

by Claire Tennant

Weather beckons, and Christmas draws near

the gifts under the tree

soon, the celebrations will be over

back to mediocrity

echoed in our minds are the words

"Happy New Year”

yet rarely is it happy

sometimes tinged with fear

2

Political argy-bargy at home or elsewhere

and journalists tell their stories

as though they really care

we have dreams of the future

despite the doom and gloom

friends still laugh together

and music still holds a tune

3


Above it all is Jesus

Our faith in Him the key

born in Bethlehem

died at Calvary

I try to tell satan to go away

with the Lord beside me

I know He will not betray

Let’s drink to prosperity

the fact that we are alive

So much joy is in store for us

In twenty twenty-five
