New Year Dreams

As the clock strikes midnight, spare a thought...

The year, set to vanish;
the clock is counting down.
We prepare to banish
all wrongs that made us frown.

The bells are due to ring.
World waits for all that’s new.
Such wonder makes us sing -
tis the night to review.

Together, celebrate
good times, past and future.
Feel free to demonstrate
good will and great humour.

As the clock strikes midnight,
spare a thought for those who
see not a day without fight.
They dream of something new.
