My Only Wish For New Years Poem by Mary Nagy
My Only Wish For New Years
I'm not wishing for diamonds
or my own money tree.
I'm not a fan of fancy things.
Those things...they just aren't me.
I wish to know my purpose
in this ever changing place.
I want to find my reason
for taking up this space.
To know I've done some soothing
to any aching heart.
To know I've made a difference...
that's how this year should start.
I wonder what I'm here for
and if I'm carrying my load.
What did God intend for me?
Am I on His chosen road?
My only wish on New Years
is to know I'm doing right.
I'll pray for this at bedtime
each and every night.
I agree with Denis. :) No need to wonder amongst the clouds in meaningless artificial materials or superfical friends...life is about purpose and respect for those around you...including your self. Your a dear person, and I'm sure you are on god's road.
This is wonderful Mary. It is simplistic in its approach, which is right for the theme. There is no need to wonder amonst the clouds when all you need to do is to be direct in an approach for this.
Lovely sentiments, Mary. May all your prayers be answered in 2006. Warm regards, Sandra

Mary, a very purposeful poem and certainly different from standard New Year resolutions... one sure to make a difference. Well done! ! Brian
Mary, You HAVE made a difference. You make us smile, you make us cry, you are our friend. We love you! ; -) Shannon
You're very touching and inspiring, and that means a lot, Mary.
Lovely Mary, and there's no argument, of course you're doing 'IT' all right. I shall wish for health, as we've had a bit of a bad bout of it this year. Also plenty of humour, and nice friends to share life with. Thanks for posting this one. Love Ernestine XXX
