The following two poems are from the website: Christian New Year Poems:

Look Ahead!

Don’t look back on the year that has been
But look forward to what is still unseen
The new thing that God is about to do
Is what we should look expectantly to

Because, as we trust God with our future days
And continue to walk in all His ways
He guides us into the new year ahead
With an expectant hope, not fear or dread

 

Teach Me!

Dear Master for this coming year
Just one request I bring:
I do not pray for happiness,
Or any earthly thing—
I do not ask to understand
The way Thou leadest me,
But this I ask: Teach me to do
The thing that pleaseth Thee.
