New Year

NEW YEAR Year 2022 has set into the abyss of history Dawn of 2023 unfurls a new mystery The previous night, in anticipation we wait For the gong to strike and change the date The new year is like a child born Who has neither love nor scorn Blissfully unaware of what’s to come Will life be exuberant or glum? She sleeps enchanted by her dreams Punctuated by occasional screams Her world is confined to her cozy bed Except when she is required to be fed We welcome the year twenty-three With hopes that it will set our minds free Churning our thoughts that it nourishes And dreams that never perishes The new year ushers in optimism and hope Avail Opportunities for which there is scope Salute the past and make dreams come true Best wishes to everyone, remember never rue.
