Welcome Now, Two-Thousand-Eighteen

Welcome now, two-thousand-eighteen. Two-thousand-seventeen you've replaced so quickly! May you keep your sheen well until the time you are erased. While you can, you must brightly shine. Welcome now, two-thousand-eighteen. Shine for us; be for us divine - the best of any year we’ve seen! Much from you we all hope to glean. Bring us love and peace, health and cheer. Welcome now, two-thousand-eighteen. I am pleading, bring us naught to fear! From now until next December and all the other months in-between, do not be anything but grand! Welcome now, two-thousand-eighteen. For the New Year Contest of Janice Canerdy
