Let this be -
The Time of our Lives...
A second after midnight
When they say, the Year
Will be born-
And each second hence,
In a different place, on this
Longitude and that-
Each moment, for nearly a whole day
A New Year Dawns!
Giving thanks for the
Blessings of a year's worth, past
Gathered;
Remembering and grieving and mourning
All who have faced Life's Grim Battle
And won themselves Hereafter;
And, from there,
Surging forward
With the Hope
From the eternal Fount
Of the Soul...
Knowing that we
Shall never forget.
But move on
With memories, evergreen,
In our heart,
Voices strong
Conviction firm
Belief eternal,
In the Religion of Humanity
and
In the Perception of Peace.
Once Again!
Here's Wishing you all
A Wonderful New Year!
Hoping too
That it brings
Much Love, Luck, Joy
Peace, and Excitement
Energy and Extraordinary
Delights in Slices of Sheer Life!!!
