Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

A HAPPIER NEW YEAR FOR ALL

Happy New Year to my PS Friends
I trust it has started well
As we wave goodbye to 2023
It has been a year of Hell

A year that will go down in History
Full of unhappiness and woe.
Shrouded with intrigue and mystery
It is encouraging to see it go.

I hope that 2024
Has less suffering and pain,
And the world will be in awe
As faith will become strong again.

The tyrants that caused the wars
Will become tired and weak
The power that they hunger for
Now impossible to seek,

Faith, Hope and Courage,
Help to save the day.
As the coming of the New Year
Start to blow the ill will of the past away.

To all my fellow poets,
I send my kindest regards to you
Wishing you good health and happiness
In all that you pursue.

Beata Agustin February 3, 2024 at 9:40 PM Thanks for sharing this... Jubilant New Year to you likewise. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Gershon Wolf January 1, 2024 at 7:19 PM You said it, and you are right. Never has there been such an outbreak of such pure tyranny in my lifetime anyway. Not since the early 1940's...
