                                           New Year Wishes

                                  The old year is fast flying by,
                                 A new year is jostling around
                         With whispers of warm winds from high,
                               And sizzling sun in the surround;

                                 Marked by two public holidays
                                      It`s celebrated in piety 
                                By many on the prime first day
                                     And then in fine festivity;

                                 Let the heat of tropical climes
                                Expand the heart of every man
                            With compassion and make it shine
                               With loving care as for a friend;

                            Let the heart shine with human care 
                              For those in dire wants and needs
                                 In a spirit of bring and share
                               As agents of His grace, indeed;

                           Let the shine of peace spread apace
                                  In the town as in the city
                                On the hills as in the village
                                  In the midst of fine unity;

                             On New Year`s day and every day 
                               Let us all dispel from our mind
                             Evil thoughts for men on our way
                               For peace of mind ever to find;

                              On New Year`s day and everyday
                             Let us forgive our friends and foes
                           For wrongs by them done, or sad woes
                                     Inflicted to us in a sway;

                               On New Year`s day and everyday
                                      Let the gem of fraternity
                              Spread apace its bright shining rays
                                        To signal the festivity;

                                 On New Year`s day and everyday
                             Let`s spread the message of good will
                                     On land, at sea or in a bay
                                   In the fields or on top of hills;

                                On New Year`s day and everyday
                             Let the Lord`s grace rest with all man
                              His divine light brighten up their way
                             Joy and good health be their brethren,

                                Like the shine of the sun at dawn
                              Like dewdrops on the greenish lawn
                                 Like singing birds at early morn
                                     Like sunrise in the horizon.

Daniel, thanks a lot for your highly positive comments, which really touch the depth of my heart. If the wishes could come true , we would be living in an ideal world. You may wish to visit my poem "The Search for Idealism" , which echoes the same spirit. May the Lord extend His grace to you and to those near and dear to you on New Year Day and throughout the year.
