When New Year Calls 'I'M Here'! Poem by Dr. Tulsi Hanumanthu

When New Year Calls 'I'm Here'!
(With only ONE rhyme throughout the poem)

While the three little words 'Happy New Year'
Again, like music, capture our ears,
May bonny, bouncing, bright-eyed cheer
Ring door-bells all and call 'I'm here! '

May all your friends and relatives dear -
Be they far or be they near -
Be robbed by Old Year of all your fears
And, by New Year, be cheated of tears!

Away from hurdles may you veer
And successwards your journey steer.
With perseverance may you spear
Ahead, throughout your life's carreer.

May Health's rosy face appear
And Wealth's footsteps may you hear.
May Hope, the way for Happiness, clear.
May Good Fortune bring up the rear.
