Happy New Year's Dreams

Let’s wrap the world in happy new year’s dreams
of winter days with love appearing new
with passion flowing, bursting at the seams
enough to last for now and lifetimes through.

Let’s wrap the world in happy new year’s days
of peace on Earth and joy within each heart
with harmony and trusting, caring ways
that lead us to the daylight from the dark.

It’s splendid if we have a new year’s dream,
a thought about the future all our own
but dealing with the present is supreme
and we may just be dreaming all alone.

Let’s make our world a happy new year’s dream
a place where hate’s abhorred and love’s esteemed.

Janis, I know exactly what you mean when you express fear you may be "dreaming all alone." If everyone could wake up on New Year's Day with love in their hearts and a commitment to peace, imagine what our world would be like. I love your sonnet. One for my faves! Hugs, Carolyn
