The New Year

It's the beginning

of the new year
so fresh and innocent
bubbling with joy

may we resolve
with a clean heart
to spread love and cheer
everyday of the year

may goodness abound
and negativity recede
old may make way
for the magic of the new

with dignity and grace
strength of togetherness
and toughness of character
may we raise the world

may friendships grow
the humanity glow
and with selflessness
may we pursue higher goals

may technology aid
the human endeavors
to subserve humanity
with a human face

may His grace abound
every soul be blessed
light may shine in every place

so we wish and pray
