A New Year’s Song - A Poem

So the time has come to bid this year a farewell!
A year of good and not so good, ups and downs,
Of tears of joy and tears of sadness, of bitter and
Sweet, thick and thin, fare thee well!
And so we pray for a year to better the one that’s passed!
Now await we the year to come with arms so wide,
With hope and faith for better than worse, little
Think we of end of times as Mayans prophecy
The end of worlds, but wait for none time and tide!
And we look towards one to better the one that’s passed
An eventful year ‘twas for you and me, but savoured
Not we the lessons we learned! So look we towards
One to better the one that’s gone, for one more
Year of lessons to learn and gifts to earn!
A spark of hope for one to better the one that’s passed!
So the time has come to bid the year a farewell,
And so pray I that the year to come may be for you,
A year of hope prosperity and joy yet to be! But,
Forget not the lessons of the year that’s passed,
Little knowing that it might be for better or for worse!
But some will not see another year, felled were they
By hands so harsh! Yet  lit they a spark of hope, for
A better year, a year filled with compassion and pity!
For their life was not in vain, as they lit a flame so bright.
So does one year pass into another,
While we pray for one to better the one that’s passed!
