Let the storm of unrest that has been raging
Subside with the coming year into a gentle breeze,
That only whispers the tale of love and friendship.
Let all the negativities amass into a heap of dry leaves
To kindle the bonfire of New Year’s Day and to burn into nothingness.
Let all the doused lamps of hope lit up with the coming year
To Illuminate the morose homes again.
Let the weakened purpose of life rise sturdy with New Year’s vows
For a life, vivacious and worthy.
Let the gracious hands of the new year take out the pins of pain,
Stuck in the muscles of millions of hearts.
Let the departing humanity return to hold our hands again and sing with us
The song of one humanity and one world upon the stage of the year ahead.
……Dr. Fathema Begum
