2019

As this year comes to a close,
I look back and I smile;
One saw his first birthday,
While others celebrated in style.

Easter was a beautiful day,
As we celebrated the risen Lord;
April brought us Joe's big move,
He no longer lives inside my door.

We survived a tornado and floods,
God Almighty kept us from harm;
I got to see a fantastic play,
And play at the park when it was warm.

Beautiful flowers bloomed this year,
Before we knew it, school made its start;
God blessed us with a new babe,
The family all got together at the park.

Surgery on my knee came in the fall,
And Thanksgiving blessed us one and all;
Christmas was spread over many days,
Wore us out, the short and the tall.

The Lord blessed us with a spectacular year,
He was with us all the way;
He gave us gifts of strength and grace,
And I will thank Him every day.
