The night of departing year is coming to an end,
It's the time for ebullient assemblage with family and friends.
As we sip on Dulcet drinks, a pain sits in
That from we can't refrain,
To bid adieu to a sweet-year which will not return again.
With pace of time and reminiscination of memory
Nostalgic every year gets as it fades leaving a summary.
The elapsed year evanescent like the autumn withering leaves,
The niveous winter and flickering burning twigs,
Marks an end of a cherished-year, I believe!
A new year brings us manifold chances to rise,
For us to strive and chase the dreams seen by our eyes.
Amongst thousand errors, the year is leaving with a solution,
To amend each mistake and make stronger resolutions.
Hands with gifts and blessings ineffable are filled
While hand-in-hand we stand for a new year to build.
We may lay down weeping through the ephemeral night,
Yet with gleaming faces, facing the new year's first light.
Let each burden and dolour go, erase the guilt persisting,
This New Year is worth some life and more exciting dreams.
As I watch the clock tick-tock, a song so
Mellifluous is played,
To greet the epiphany of a new life with cakes homemade.
It's now time to lay a buffet of Happiness
For your near and dear,
And I wish you all a very Happy New Year.
