Happy New Year! ! ! Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

It is a very new year! ! !
Sorrow, failure and poverty are gone; the horizon is clear
The new brings joy, grace and blessings near
And all the glad tidings, we cherish so dear
My eyes shall never see tear
Neither shall my heart, never again, fear
My hands shall no more play with teddy bear
But the blessings that shall include automated gear
My body shall put on new garments with no tear
My head gets a new cap, a blessed head gear
My legs adorn shoes of honour, to complete all I wear
I shall bask in joy, plenty, grace and blessings; all with no smear
Family, friends and well-wishers, I wish all even more than I wear
Never look back again in fear
This New Year, your glories shall shine clear
As I wish you, I wish myself very dear
So, I wish everyone a Happy New Year! ! !
