Greet the New Year 2022

A turbulent year has faded out and a new year is before us. Many who were with us are no more. Many are maimed and marred in the battle of life. Let us hope that something better awaits us and it is this hope that pulls us on. Imploring  God’s grace, I wish all my dear Soup friends, a Happy 2022.



As the glow of 2021 has faded out
And a new dawn’s halo has surrounded the arc
Best wishes and prayers from all hearts sprout
‘Let a new world of light emerge from the dark’

Let us wait to see new hopes blooming 
Grab the little joys the mind can contain
Dismiss all defeatist thoughts surfacing
Warmly greet the New Year about to begin 

The stream of life glides gurgling
Listen to its dulcet rhythmic refrain
Put down smothering blues brewing
Cast away all sad and throttling pain

Inhale the salubrious air and begin again 
Hope for happier times, day after day
With enormous appetite, life’s zest, regain
Newer vistas will open up and come to stay

After reading Soup poetry, it is not likely to happen as the majority prefer leaving their health and happiness up to their god despite there being more unanswered prayers than stars in the Milky Way . . . . but I do admire your ability to string English words together . . . .Hau'oli makahiki hou! Aloha!
