New Years Wishes
The memory curtain is descending as another year fades away
With it, still born resolutions buried even before its spring arrived
I am still here, and this time I will not resolve to lose weight and exercise
This, in the past did not survive even the dusting of the first winter snow
This year I wish for the friends of the world
That their clouds of worry be dissolved
And sun light fill their days
And for the enemies of the world
That their frowns be dissolved
And that the same sun that they share with all
Melts the hating in their hearts allowing charity to fill the void
A bright spring awaits the children of the world when this wish is granted.
