Year 2026


                                           The clock ceaselessly clicks its chime,
                                               Soon it marks the propitious time;
                                              Two thousand twenty-five slips by,
                                                 A new year greets the starry sky.

                                                 Roars of firecrackers seal the air,
                                                 With a joyous mood everywhere,
                                              A moonlight sky sparkling so bright,
                                                   With promises held ever tight.

                                              In tropical climes, summer glow 
                                              Propels seeds of hope to grow,
                                         Heralds new leaves, a brand new start,
                                                 A fresh beginning in the heart.
 
                                                While awaiting the morning light
                                                To celebrate with some delight,
                                               It`s time to reflect on days past,
                                              Moments that faded, built to last. 
                      
                                                   It is time to ponder ahead,
                                          Time to stitch on with newer threads,
                                        Time to delve on one`s stumbling blocks,
                                           Time one`s weaknesses to take stock.

                                             Let two thousand twenty-six mark
                                        A fresh start, that will beam with sparks,
                                             Ignite hope and faith, erase fears,  
                                         Dispel dark doubts from far and near.

                                                 Let it a cleaner slate unfold,
                                                 A new tale waiting to be told,
                                               Of innovation, bright and bold,
                                                   Newer solutions to behold.

                                             With shining dawn of a new year
                                         Let`s us with a smiling face and cheer
                                            Clear the inner rust from our lamp
                                           That it may brighten up our stamp.

                                        Let`s grease our wheels, oil our engines
                                        Wipe up our heart, mind and hands clean
                                             Step out from our zone of comfort
                                                  To run faster with same effort.
 
                                             While cruising up along the road
                                            Let`s observe a passionate code
                                          To heal the earth, protect its grace,
                                             And leave a better, happier place.

                                          Let`s spread kindness with helping hands,
                                                  Across oceans, across the lands.
                                                With compassion, vibrant and true,
                                                     To build a better future, new.

                                                Let the new year be filled with cheer,
                                          With hopes and dreams that draw us near
                                                With love and human feels that bind
                                               With peace of the heart and the mind.

                                                Let`s face the new year, hand in hand,
                                                   Together strong, across the land,
                                                With hope as our unswerving guide,
                                                   And faith as our unhampered tide.

                                                    May joy and peace fill every day
                                                Along life's warm and winding way,
                                                Let`s two thousand twenty-six greet,
                                                  And wish a future bright and sweet.
