The Newness of life

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 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.
