New is the year
New are the wares
New are the resolutions
Likewise the aspirations
New is the spirit
Strange to retreat
New is the vibrancy
A force of potency.

Life offers newness
To wear out oldness
Oldness that bores my heart
Newness that gladdens my heart
Be merry, new is the life
It holds no place for strife.

The desire for change
Has no definite range
Time to change ways
Rays of hope
Help you cope.

A blissful and prosperous year to you all.
