A thankful goodbye
To the old year
Set and stated
To be a past
Which has carved
A nice niche
For the new year...
A warm welcome
To the coming year
To usher in good times
The joyous moments
With new hopes,
New resolutions,
New dawns,
Brightening the horizon
Of love and compassion,
For humanity,
For prosperity,
For a cordial ambiance,
When and where
Happiness must rain,
Peace must reign,
The good must gain,
The bad must refrain
From evils and vices,
And all the fear
With hopeful advent
Of Happy New Year...!
