A Sonnet-Plea to the New Year (An Experimental Sonnet) <br /> <br />Welcome, New Year 'Nineteen Ninety Four'. <br />At midnight, closed although may be our door, <br />Have you not your magic master-key, <br />From world's womb to timely set you free? <br /> <br />A babe yourself, our father you will be; <br />Our matters for a year you'll oversee. <br />Our life's boat, as Captain you will guide; <br />Empowered you'll be to turn the very tide! <br /> <br />Our future when you draft and duly write, <br />Can't you make it just a shade more bright? <br />As Fortune's favourites let us be enrolled; <br />Her gracious gifts, awhile let us hold. <br /> <br />With Health as bread and Wealth as water pure, <br />A happy life for us, pray ensure.<br /><br />Dr. Tulsi Hanumanthu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-sonnet-plea-to-the-new-year/
