Below is a poem and picture I used last year at this time….
No Room At The Inn
I crept in slow to catch the scene
As on the pillows they did dream
Of days to come both good and bad
When they would laugh and sometimes be sad
A life ahead of who knows what
To cherish in each moment lost
While they in slumbers lay
And what of me I hear you say
No place where I can come and lay
But happy in this loving sight
My precious gifts tucked up so tight
While they in slumbers lay

The picture above was taken in the winter of 1983/84 when I returned home from night shift to find my place had been taken
I quietly left the room and settled in the spare bedroom for the day.
One of life’s beautiful moments.
A Poem for the promise of a New Year
New Dawn
He woke from the dark place into the light
The sadness had left him in the space that was night
Dawn in her glory had spread all around
While from the birds a chorus did sound
They sang of the beauty to come in the day
With all of its gifts soon on display
Rubbing his eyes to take in the view
He thought of his life now starting anew
The crease of a smile now emerged on his face
Replacing the sorrow which left not a trace
Natures sweet music now filled the air
And all at once he had not a care
Just the breath of being
Thought to Ponder – When a new door opens in your life, don’t wait for an invitation to pass through it. PTT

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
and may the God of your choosing spread his light of Unconditional Love on you each and every one of your days…
