A New Year
A new year is coming
it’s a new chapter to write,
I wonder if it’ll be noisy
or will it be quite.
Will we see new stuff
or the same old things,
will we be surprised
with what the new year brings.
I have wishes
and I’m making them clear,
of what I’d like to see
come with the new year.
I wish for more peace
and also more love,
and more understanding
and less push and shove.
I wish that all people would
get along with each other,
and realize there’s only one earth
and she is our mother.
I wish for less greed
and fewer sorry crooks,
but more good kids
who loves to read books.
I wish the unemployed
will find them a job,
and that all hoodlums get punished
when they bully and rob.
I wish they’d cure cancer
and all other diseases,
but never let drugs replace
warm hugs and squeezes.
I wish my family and friends
stay happy and blessed,
and not worry so much
nor be very stressed.
I wish that people would realize
before it’s to late,
that the power of love
is much greater than hate.
And I wish to cling to my past
like a cherished souvenir,
and I wish we all get treated
kindly by the coming new year.
