Blessed New Year

Hands move slowly,
dripping in time.
Silent wishes invade,
as ticking continues.

Missing grandmothers,
with hearts broken wishes.
Remembrances of yesterday,
flood like waves from hurricanes.

Finally, thanking God
for the years of life.
Birthing a new endeavor
to fill empty spaces with love.

Blessing a new year...
