It's time to take a closer look
This past year's written in my book
Some things I wrote in great despair
And others written without a care
I've had my ups and downs that's true
And must admit I have no clue
What things will change in this new year
I only ask for vision clear
So I don't make the same mistakes
Let me distinguish truth from fakes
It certainly would make life grande
If I remember a helping hand
Is always better than one that takes
For when I grab it only makes
Me happy for a fleeting time
There still remains that hill to climb
I think I'll climb it with my friends........................
Great insight as this old year ends!

i hope i can climb with you, Linda..this is a very touching message to start the new year. thank you Linda for this sharing. God bless you
Thanks for a nice poem Linda, all the best to you this New Year
Linda, friends like me still hold out a helping hand for anyone in distress. We always hope it won't be be needed, but it is always there if they do. Wonderful reflection on the year closing. Many things have touched us all. My most precious reflection is the friendship I have received from you and others over the past year. Something I hold close to my heart. Beautiful poem and I hope to read more wonderful ones from yourself in the coming year. Happy New Year 2008 to you and your family. Love and Hugs David xxxxx
'Great Insight' Linda...it is much to hard to go through things alone...much easier with a friend in who's strength you can depend...and when you reach out and that friend is not there...know that God is and always cares...Happy New Year to you

A fine reflective piece, written without harshness or recrimination. You share your wisdom too, as demonstrated in this passage: 'If I remember a helping hand Is always better than one that takes For when I grab it only makes Me happy for a fleeting time There still remains that hill to climb' Your final couplet is superb - dear friend. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
