The Last Year Over

THE LAST YEAR OVER The last year nearly over and a new one about to begin All gathered together with their friends - family and kin Not everyone is religious - but a New Year is celebrated All hope for the future - no matter how it may be fated Handshakes given - hugs and kisses too in every street It’s the annual greeting even to strangers that you meet There is no religious divide even if your New Year is later All that good will is to all a fabulous feel good generator So here’s to all of you may it be near or may it be so far Blessings gathered for all in life’s unique love’s reservoir To be passed amongst the nations and drunk with relish This one true day - that one should be sure to embellish A “HAPPY NEW YEAR” to all those I know or yet to meet May this year for you remain happy - healthy and sweet Indiana Shaw . . . : )
