My One Little Word as Poetry

It’s
bravery,
courage,
intention —
and dreams
that find their
movement and momentum
with each
small
but mighty
risk
we take.

It’s purpose —
pushing past
the fear,
the doubt,
the questions —
while clutching
every
quiet hope
close.

It’s honest and open —
bruised, but beautiful.

It’s
all the searching,
all the learning,
all the trusting.

It’s
redemption
found.

Dear 2012…

I don’t know you very well yet, and I’m not sure what you have in store, but here’s what I promise:

…to try to keep an open heart each day.
…to live with courage, hope, and intention.
…to celebrate the goodness of life on even the most ordinary of days.
…to look for ways to grow and learn from every experience.
…and to keep thankfulness in my heart—always.

Welcome, 2012. I’m looking forward to getting to know you.
