Happy New Year 2019!
From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).
The last such message was:’Good Morning Message #187‘.
Good morning Friends,
How nice it is to greet all of you,
On the first day of the new year too;
What this year has in store for us,
I think I have a fairly good clue.
As we step into this New Year,
Towards happiness God will steer,
Even those who’d earlier been sad,
And everyone would find some cheer.
Pains would be buried in the past,
Glory and prosperity are the forecast;
Those who were in search of success,
Would really experience it at last.
Peace would break out everywhere,
Wars and battles would become rare;
People’s privacy would be respected,
Everything won’t be everybody’s affair.
Yearning for quiet won’t be mocked,
Men won’t have their horns locked,
People would be able to air their thoughts,
Dissent won’t be automatically blocked.
No one would be hungry, naked and sad,
At one another no one would be mad;
People on meeting other people,
Would share the good time they’ve had.
Everyone would have the glow of Love,
No hawks, everyone would emulate a dove;
People would be forever grateful,
To the giver of such gifts, God above.
Wrongs would miraculously become right,
Dark would suddenly change to becoming bright;
Those who were trudging in endless tunnels,
Would actually, at the end of it, see light.
You and I as we usher in the New Year,
Must have some of these objectives clear;
So that we actually realise Tagore poem:
The one titled: ‘Where the Mind is without Fear’.
Each one of us actually has a responsibility,
That all this forecast doesn’t become futility;
We would do all within our means and hands,
To impart to this dream some credibility.
All of us can make this dream come true,
As long as we’ve the will to follow through;
Let everyone give it a serious thought,
That such a world as this is long overdue.
Rather than being cynical about it,
Let’s each of us to these goals commit;
That without doing anything at all,
We shall not in disdain and defeat quit.
Lets make it happy for everyone….
