On the Verge of Another New Year

Neville

On the Verge of Another New Year

 

Just look at all those pinched faces

in all the wrong places

Wide eyed and with so much to fear

 

With frost in the air and no pennies

 to spare ..

Each praying, for a happy New Year

        Not to poke fun at the real situation, but that'll be me soon, living with KP. Doh!

      • Fay Slimm.

        Your well rhymed lines strike the right chords better than any media reports my caring friend - - how sad the same hopeless conditions many folk face will remain as another new year approaches - -- a a potent write...........x

            Maybe we just start the new year with an act of kindness or love and see where it can take us? I sometimes fantasize that if the whole of mankind did a kind act all at the same time it could change the world. You strike at the conscience dear friend, right where we need to be hit. Bravo!

              what a lovely thought you have left for me here Bella .. now that my friend would truly be the Christmas present of Christmas presents ... x

              I doubt any Xmas card publisher would buy it, Nev (you may have to keep your day job for a while yet), but it certainly has a certain resonance for me.

                Sadly & ever so, I totally agree Dave ........... cheers 🙂

                as much a prayer, as a poem of awareness
                Amen!
                may fate afford as much kindness
                to those
                most in need of a little reprieve...
                bless your kind heart, Hyung
                a sentiment empathetically worded, at this challenging time of year

                • Neville



                  Bless you & yours Mek & here's wishing you all a contented, healthy, wholesome & safe festive period and a bloomin good 2023 🙂
