In spite of last year’s ups and downs, <br />Life was beautiful and rewarding. <br />We played in the park and chased the clowns. <br />No one got hurt, and with the Good Lord’s blessing, <br />We are confident that next year will be better. <br />We have lost a few good friends who were very sick. <br />We hope to see less violence, where our people pick <br />And choose LOVE over hate. May our universe be less bitter! <br />May our world be a better and safer place to enjoy, <br />And cherish life! A gun is a deadly weapon, not a toy. <br />A toy normally brings a lot of joys to our children. <br />May slavery, racism and Apartheid end in our haven! <br /> <br />Another year is departing, everybody seems to be happy. <br />Another year is singing au revoir, goodbye, arrivederci. <br />We are wishing everyone: good health, success and prosperity. <br />Let’s count our blessings and celebrate all year long. <br />Let’s ring the bells, play the guitar and write a new song. <br />Let’s sing in unison, work, and live like good brothers <br />And sisters. Let’s chase the bad luck and the disasters. <br />May slavery, racism and Apartheid end in our haven! <br />May our world be a better and safer place to enjoy! <br />Let’s cherish life. A gun is a deadly weapon, not a toy. <br />A toy normally brings a lot of joys to our children, <br />Not death. Let’s be civilized. May our world be less bitter! <br />With the Almighty God’s blessing, next year will be better.<br /><br />Hebert Logerie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/another-year-is-saying-goodbye/
