New Year—–

Hoping the New sunrise is perfect hope

For night bygone, was terribly awful

Grief engaged heart by news frightful!

Mind was also stressed and confused

No embracing, no sense of parting sting;

Everywhere it was mayhem and chaos

Raised hands prayed the whole night

Heart hope for peace by New Year’s dawn,

Not more wounds and no more despair!

Hoping our endurance is not tested again
