The
stroke of midnight, the bell tolls informing
Earth’s
one more revolution around our Golden sun
Firecrackers
erupt spewing sparks of light
in
the night dispelling the darkness ushering in
a
new year, welcome new year, it’s time for new hope
Time
and space has flowed sweeping aside
The
good, bad and ugly of year gone
Sweeping
not under the carpet to surface later
All
hopefully gone in full, without any bitter traces
Paving
the way for a new hope, new beginning
New
hope for peace and happiness
For
all the blokes, families, communities, nations
New
hope for the less privileged, poor and needy
New
hope for those working for their welfare
Hopes
are eternal yet these hopes spring afresh
Let
there be new hope the humanity’s divisions perish
Let
there be new hope to work for humanity’s raise
Stashing
all hatred, enmity into the dust pin
the
year gone be that dust pin stashed away
emptied
and burnt without trace, amen!
Glory
to new year, glory to one and all
Welcome,
welcome, welcome new year
Dance,
sing, slice cakes to give away to one and all
Cheers,
cheers all around all around the world
With
new year and it’s new hopes
