                                                                                                  새 달력을 걸며/연규흠

                                     

 

                                                                                                  오늘

                                                                                                  열두 달을 선물 받았다.

                                                                                          

                                                                                                  고통은 내 몫이 아니라고

                                                                                                  애써 부인하며

                                                                                                  내가 누리는 행복과 기쁨이

                                                                                                  모두 내 몫인 줄 알고

                                                                                                  열두 달의 선물을 다 써버린

                                                                                                  2017 정유년.

                                                                                                  기쁨과 아쉬움, 후회를 떼어내고

                                                                                                  2018 무술년 새 소망을 걸어 놓는다.

 

                                                                                                  삶이란

                                                                                                  늘 똑같은 숫자 속에 맴돌고 살면서

                                                                                                  날마다 숫자 속에 희망을 불어넣는 일

                                                                                                  하루하루 선물을 사용하면서

                                                                                                  자신을 비워가는 일

 

                                                                                                  새해 달력을 걸며

                                                                                                  나는 기도를 올린다.

                                                                                                  날마다 그 분을 바라보자

                                                                                                  작은 일에도 감사하자

                                                                                                  그 분을 노래하자

 

                                                                                                  열두 달의 선물을 담아주신

                                                                                                  그 분의 뜻을 헤아리며.
