Old Year New Year

Dragging his feet with exhaustion, 
On the unending path of time,
The wise old year, the gates of 
Oblivion approaches,
His face glowing
His heart pounding for joy
His soul in rapture
Because
In a few moments, able will he be,
The heavy load of humanity’s predicaments 
Upon 
The eager shoulders, of the ignorant New Year,
To, finally, lay!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!

Excellent Demi! The old year is only too pleased to lumber the new one with all his problems! Time to take a merited rest. Will the new year be lucky and find its load dwindling? Hopefully so! All the best to you, my friend. // paul

Ha, ignorant indeed! We always seem to start the year with such optimism. Perhaps this year will be the answer to our prayers. Happy New Year Demetrios.

Yes, my dear Anne-Lise, nobody knows the weight of another's load for he simply judges, based on, his own experience! Thank you for your visit and comment! Happy New Year! See my message!
