When you think you have gone
As far as you can
Glance back and see
All the places you’ve been

Look at the faces
Of the people you knew
Count all the graces
From what you’ve been through.

There’s good and there’s bad
Some friends and some foes
But all mixed together
Create the You that we know.

Keep your eyes on the road
There’s much more ahead
Don’t dawdle or waddle
Or worry or dread

God’s got your hand
Your heart and your soul
Your experiences matter
And help keep you whole.

Another year’s waiting
Reach for the son
Let Jesus embrace you
A new year’s begun.

Happiest of Birthdays
