Twenty Twenty Three be it Corona free

Twenty twenty three let it be corona free

Three years passed with agony and misery

Let this year  get rid of corona virus fear

The great grand  son BF7 of omicron

Has devastated China Korea and Japan

Hope it’s march further  will not move on  

Let the safety guard be on with mask adorn

The face  again and  no hesitance to vaccine

Let twenty-three see end  of Russia-Ukraine war

Neighborly amicability let  not  mar

Borderlines between nations fade and reappear

May better sense prevail among the rulers

Let people across live with love and fervor

Illness, hospital, the health misfortune

withstood wild paws of chilling pain                                                                                                                               

Let the heart be keen to forget

Old longings in fulfilling new desire

Let the  grace of New Dawn  appear
Old Year's strife and struggle disappear
Like a swiftly flowing stream

The year gone by we shall not dwell

Let Misery and pain shall not swell.

Let memories be figments of past

People always wish good ones to last.

Let us watch a New Year is here

Expect good and bad at our door

With resilience be ready to bear.

Life’s one year somehow sailed past

Life's New Year had dawned at last.

Let’s Wait with hope, and not in fear,     

For the swiftly approaching New year                                                                                                                                                                    
Its bright dawning draweth near.
