Happy New Year

Life is a sea of mixed emotions,
Where ever-changing tides will roll—
The glassy calm of sunlit devotion,
The sudden squall that tests the soul.

Some waves will lift your spirit high,
With gulls of laughter in the sky.
Some pull you down with undertow,
To depths where silent sorrows lie.

But in your chest, a compass true,
A hopeful heart to steer you through.
It charts a course through fog and foam,
To guide your journey safely home.

So when the tempest strains the seams,
Hold fast to your resilient dreams.
And when the waters stretch out, clear,
Sail on with wonder, not with fear.

May this new year, a voyage bright,
Bring peaceful dawns and starlit nights.
With every wave, may you find grace,
And safe harbor in a warm embrace.
