O! The coming New Year!
The world waits
With bated breath
To usher you in
With open arms
Heralding the new dawn,
Marked with joyous celebrations
O! The harbinger of Hope
Sentinel of time!
Stand with me
As I reach out to gather
A little sunshine, casting it
To illuminate the shadowed lives
Suffering in poverty and need.
Stand with me
As I sing
Soothing lullabies
To ease
The pain and misery
Of the suffering multitudes
Stand with me
As I infuse some wisdom,
Into the misguided, arrogant minds,
Whose blind hubris
Unleashes havoc upon
The frail, vulnerable humanity
Let’s join hands,
You and I.
To enthuse
The sagging spirits with
Vitality and verve
And
Build a New World
Of hope and compassion,
Of peace and prosperity
Of reason and wisdom,
Of universal brotherhood
Amen!
