to be made so
wretched, but
I have to learn
wisdom from
my experience.

The first day
of the new year
is clear cold
and beautiful
only different
in this respect
from all the
other desolate
days. I see God
in this beautiful
sun shine, and
I see Gods hand

in all my sorrows, I need
the teaching which sorrow
brings. Too many sweets
endanger the health that
is why He unites the bitter
with the sweets.

I pray that you
and your loved ones may
be spared to enter upon
many New Years. Yours
sincerely Jane L. Stanford
