from my big old blackboard





wat the dickens
another year

already

and barely
have I
caught my
breath
from filling
stockings
and sending
cards
and noshing
on sweets
until
stupefied

belly stuffed
and days
crammed
with busy

and so
on this day
so special
the last
in a year full
of days

now
quickly

morphing

into
memories

some tasting
so sweet
on the tongue
such goodness
experienced

and others
more bitter

for the love
of wanting
happy

and
sometimes
finding
lack

wat the dickens

that's life

and I'm embracing
it all

in the crazy good
and in the not

because

been shown
a faithful One
full of love
and grace

sustaining

and giving joy

and me

showing up
vulnerable
because of it

so

thanks

for stopping by

and be encouraged

in this the last
and in the new

wishing you Jesus
