In the birth of the New Year's dawn,
Lives a chance to set things right,
A canvas blank, a story untold,
Where aspirations shine, yet to grow.
New goals emerge like distant stars,
Guiding paths both near and far,
With prayers that lift, in fervent flight,
Seeking comfort in God's guiding light.
More life, more blessings, more love,
May resolutions flourish in this space.
To be a parent, strong and kind,
Nurturing hearts and shaping minds.
In seeking God, the soul finds rest,
A refuge within, at its best,
Amidst the chaos, the rush, the battle,
Anchored in faith, embracing life.
Let this year's tapestry be woven bold,
With threads of grace and stories told,
May wisdom bloom and courage thrive,
As we walk paths where dreams arrive.
So here's to new beginnings, a fresh start,
To listen to the whispers of the heart,
May this year reveal what's meant to be,
More joy, more hope, more humanity.

The Bird Nest
Downy tufts puff out, Warmth inside a house of hair, Drowsiness abounds. A/N: I sometimes imagine what it would be like to sleep in a bird nest, provided I can be bird-sized in the fantasy of course. I think it would be cosy! More longer stories to come! -TWW

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ELLEN MARIE *** just had to know *** ++++++++++++ As Mike drove through the town he hadn’t seen in about twenty years, he wondered about those he’d left behind when he left for what he thought would be “greener pastures.” He wanted to make his mark on the world. Determination drove him and the little town of Meadowville wasn’t where he wanted to be.
