What a revelatory year 2012 has proven to be 

my eyes were opened to so many 'things' 

that before...I did not know, or see 

Sometimes I passed through trepidation 

and sometimes I walked with much doubt 

truly, nothing but My Compass...led me 

with its sure dependability and clout 

So here I stand...on day-one of 2013 

and as I peer down its corridors...oh my!  

it appears to be...so...serene  

Yet, surely hidden there...are rocky roads I must tread  

and certainly, a few storms I must overcome, too 

still, now and then, I'll find smooth walkways  

where the bright sunshine is beaming through 

Decisions must be made on which paths to choose 

for its my faith on which so much depends... 

but even more...it's is My Compass that I 'must' use!   

For, if I rely upon My Compass 

it'll guide me...well...to wherever I must go 

and will prove itself...more...than worthy  

through this present year...I know  

It's Workmanship is One-Of-A-Kind, Regality ...Amassed!   

this 'Supreme Necessity'...I 'cannot' do without 

so yes, here I come 2013, me...and...MY COMPASS!

 Ps 32:8, 48:14
