 </div><p></p>Let all hearts break into joy<br>
With gratitude boiling<br>
Beyond containing measure<br>
For the great pleasure<br>
Of witnessing a New Year
<p>Like a sweet soft flowing streams<br>
The year has swept our feet<br>
Washing us with elation<br>
And drawing close our dreams<br>
For greater actualisations</p>
<p>Like mist amidst the greens<br>
Yesteryear has disappeared<br>
Into past bin<br>
Replaced by a new year<br>
So immaculate and clean</p>
<p>Take no rush with your boat<br>
But roll roll roll on gently<br>
Onward and upward go<br>
Doting every node with your ftent</p>
<p>But take note, you’re not alone<br>
So boast not of the vast rich coast<br>
But learn from the tombstones<br>
Nor are you to fear any ghost<br>
Or the drooping of hailstones</p>
<p>Amidst that too<br>
You can be atop<br>
Floating bright above the blue<br>
Only keep your gears atop</p>
<p>Your will, love, and faith<br>
These trinity gemstones<br>
Of Christmas gift<br>
Shall take you across many milestones</p>
