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
