May a smile be and warm your heart
And your God embrace your soul,
As the year unwinds may it bring you peace
And a life content and whole,
As the days pass by let your love be brave
Be your nights be filled and true,
May your path be free this coming year
And your health be good to you.
Be your burdens hushed with a simple wish
And your debts be swept away,
May life welcome you so fond and free
And never may you stray,
Let a door be ope’ to step inside
With prosperity to share,
Let a sunny day fulfill your wants
May you always show you care.
May your kin just always love you
Be your friends forever near,
Let your mornings be a blessing
From the angels you might hear,
Let you drink of nature’s kindness
Finding magic moments real,
Simply life is for your living
With the joy that you can feel.
This is a poet’s blessing
With a simple written poem,
For you this Sunday morning
May your God protect your home,
Today and in the new year
May your roads pass straight and true,
Let the world always be your friend
For this blessing is for you.
