A New Year

As the black turned to become a crimson hue,

The sphere shook off its sleep to evaporate the dew,

The birds sang in the freeze the sweetest song,

To mark the arrival of the day awaited for long.

The decade that was filled with sorrows and glee,

Is cold and gone- no more of it to see,

A fresh decade is knocking at the door today,

With its bag full of surprises, with a brighter sun's ray.

Come, let's greet this day with the smile in the eye,

With the heart filled with passion, with the heads held high,

Let us rejoice in the delight of a new awakening,

With a faith for the best, let the wish get its wing.

The dead year that marked the beginning of a celebration,

When we experienced life's most significant transformation,

Has lost its existence, it had not come to stay,

Time flew so fast and thus the year passed away.

It left behind the knowledge to learn things from,

To tread on with courage, to sing your own song,

To accept every challenge that life throws your way,

And emerge as a winner, come what may.

Paving the path to the prosperous peaceful palace,

To realize the dreams and win the race,

Here commences the dawn of a year yet again,

With the dusk of a decade and a new year's rain.

It's a new hope with a silver lining,

It's a new joy in the fresh morning,

It's time for a new spirit forgetting every fear,

It's time for the beginning of a new year!
