A New Year Has Dawned  !

2016 had whizzed by

With memories of good

and bad to take away.

2017 has just stepped in

with a fresh blank sheet 

to record its events for history.

Yes, a New Year has dawned

to list a few new resolutions

to start a fresh journal

to hang a new calendar on the wall.

And to have a new President in the White House.

What is in store for us this year

As a family, country or the world as a whole

No one knows and none could predict.

We could only hope and pray 
this year would bring  smiles, not pain

More solutions than problems

So that all could live in peace and with no fear.

O God, You have given us a beautiful world to live in

It's a pity we spend no time to see its beauty or enjoy it.

Help us to see, help, forgive and love more this year

So that 2017 become a great year to remember.
