Poems by Sandra Hearth

Another year is coming to a close.
We can forget our troubles and woes.

For me, this year was tough.
It brought many emotions, was tearful and rough.

Now another year is approaching fast.
Let's hope it's a New Year with love and health; let's hope it's a blast.

May all of your dreams come true
And you find peace and love in all that you do.

May this world know the gentle sound of a hush.
May it calm all its anger and slow its pace from the rush.

May we all hear the sound of joy
And push away all that hurts, all that destroys.

The New Year I hope will be good to us all.
Care and calm, a helping hand when we fall.

Listen more, slow down, and say I love you.
Stop for a moment; take a breath, take in the view.

Appreciate your family; tell them you care.
Do something exciting, a thrill or a dare.

Enjoy all that the New Year may give.
We have but one life, so let's learn to live.

It's a New Year, a brand new start.
Always remember, live and love from your heart.

Wishing each and every one a year to behold,
And may it be full of wonders for you to unfold.

Love, hugs, and kisses too...
A very happy New Year from me to you.

To celebrate is to embrace an act of wonder and joy,
To show the whole world you have a girl or a boy.

A date that will be written forever in time,
A life, a love, a child of mine.

Tiny fingers and perfect toes,
Rosy pink cheeks and a little button nose.

A true miracle, you are born tonight.
In my arms, I cannot stop staring as I hold you tight.

Held close beside my heart, I gently sway.
You're exactly 20 minutes old; you're here to stay.

My precious gift, my child, my light,
You are everything that's perfect; you are just right.

So hello, my angel; I'd just like to say,
Welcome my darling, and happy birthday!
