The New Year

Austria by Elvie Lins

This morning I woke up eager for the day ahead
Ready to take on the year with open eyes.

My optimism flourished in this new event horizon
Feeling privileged forevermore to be alive

When 2021 debuted, much precipitation developed
Making it hard for folks to see
What the year would hold in store

This year, I will be
equal to my most courageous self.

I will march into a life that endures me.

I’ll phase out bad names,
And never come crawling back again.

Happy New Year 2022!

The new year is poised with promise and good hope,

Bringing with it a breath of relief.

Let’s celebrate renewed peace and love,

Gather together with lighter hearts.

To feel the fresh sensation of the ink,

Isn’t it refreshing how its words sweep over you?

As you walk into this new great day.

Happy New Year Everyone!
