Notes About The Poem

Peace, Joy, Contentment

Bright stars that shone behind the clouds  
Magical fireworks lit the sky
New hopes and dreams danced round unshroud
While uncertainty tore the heart
Leaving stains 'pon the blue lined sheet
New Year can be an awesome start

Peace, joy, contentment slipped right through
An assurance no matter what
Everything good will soon breakthrough
New Year ride the light of sparklers
Dance round uncensored and uncut
Break off borders, release blinders

Bright stars that shone behind the clouds
Peace, joy, contentment slipped right through
