My friend, last year is gone but the nest years are long. <br />Forsake the hurts that entered when some things went wrong. <br />Leave behind the memories that tortured you so! <br />Let heavenly goodness be your friend, not your foe. <br /> <br />Move on my friend and start having good memories. <br />Again, have new adventures and discoveries. <br />O, try to find new skills and talents that you own. <br />But may your main purpose be not just to be known. <br /> <br />To find happiness you don’t have to be a star. <br />So cheer up my friend and be more than who you are. <br />May the years to come be the best years you will have. <br />Enjoy life and life, you must save, protect, and love. <br /> <br />With the best warm wishes I greet you my dear friend. <br />O, may the years of your life never ever end! <br /> <br />Copyright © 2009 by Obed Dela Cruz <br /> <br />(December 29,2009; Marikina City) <br /> <br />(The rights and ownership of the poem belongs to Obed Dela Cruz.
