New Year Sunshine & Shadows Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

The wind whispers the birds sing
It's not ending, it's beginning
Let the hopes soar high in the sky
Without regret for the year gone by

Our heart drops a tear, it also merrily sings
for the loss we suffered and gain of precious things
Hope in our breasts, we heave a little sigh
for the dawn of new time, for the year gone by

We cherish forever in our heart
The year that's about to depart
Amid a little pain we heartily cheer
For the glorious birth of another year

A year comes and soon departs
Leaving smiles and sadness in our hearts
Yet in the sunshine of a New Year morn
Dreams are revived, hopes are reborn
