What's in a New Year's Day, I did wonder? <br />Just another day in the Gregorian calendar? <br />Romans did consecrate, it to the great Janus <br />To face past-n-future, the God's two faces. <br /> <br />Of the days past it's a time for reflection <br />Of days to come, it's one of anticipation <br />Of the year that was past, it's delusions <br />Will all go, with the evening of celebrations <br /> <br />After toasts-n-treats at party's satisfaction <br />It's time to plan for the new year's action <br />Some list out many an important resolution <br />For life's problems, to find better solution <br /> <br />So I see on this New Year's Day today <br />A mild sun saying: 'chill's goin' away' <br />The air seemed fresher, birds were chirpier <br />The phones kept ringing, texting the cheer <br /> <br />Like on life's long highway, a milestone <br />That says 'friend you've just crossed one, <br />There's more to come, keep driving (living) <br />In hope, your dream's yours for achieving! ' <br /> <br />So friends, this indeed's a day of true hope <br />That's common for all across the globe This day in calendar remains unchanged <br />In giving you and me chance for change.<br /><br />Padmanabhan Ananth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/new-year-s-cheer/
