A-nother calendar year has gone and passed

B-efore us dawns and ushers in a brand new year;

C-hallenges and conflicts tested our faith and trust

D-evastations created anxiety and fear.

E-arthquakes left communities ruined and unclean 

F-amines around the world dehumanised children

G-ale force winds devastated fields of green

H-orrendous floods saw struggling farmers beaten. 

I-nfectious diseases threatened health

J-uvenile deaths remained utterly on the rise

K-indness overshadowed by greed and wealth

L-ove sadly replaced by hate and lies.

M-indless people cross and come our way

N-umb and oblivious to all the vicissitudes of life

O-ppressing us whose voices have nothing to say

P-ersecuting us all to live in stress and strife.

Q-uitting is not an option with God on my side

R-esilience is a gift made in heaven 

S-eeking God’s love above all else, I confide

T-rusting in God’s mercy is my safe haven.

U-ndying faith is all I have and remember

V-ultures and thieves can hardly steal 

W-ithering remarks will never ever shatter

X-enial and kindhearted people seek to fulfil.

Y-ielding faith in God’s divine and mysterious ways

Is a fervent prayer I hold for all and everyone. 

Z-ealous and true to my God’s simple grace, 

To Whom I return my breath when I am gone.
