A new year blessing

I wish for you that the fading minutes of one year
expand into plenty in the new year
with enough time to find the gift you are to be

I wish for you that the shadows of last year
transform into the brightness of the new year
and that light leads you hope-filled into the coming days

I wish for you that the joys of the passing year
are multiplied in this coming year
enough to be caught and enjoyed by those around you

I wish for you that the memories from this year
becomes gifts that enrich life next year
and each day is a new page in an album of remembrances

I wish for you the journeys not completed in the old year
become an new adventure in the new year
and you find unending paths to travel

I wish for you the questions of this year
become the inspiration of next year
enough to inspire a whole life of new questions in turn  

I wish for you the worries from this fading year
become the places of faith in this birthing year
that offer strength and vision for the year ahead

I wish for you the love found in the crossing of the years
there before today and there beyond tomorrow
calls you, shapes you and is fulfilled in you
and the one whose love it is, never lets you go
