What's in a New Year's Day, I did wonder?
Just another day in the Gregorian calendar?
Romans did consecrate, it to the great Janus
To face past-n-future, the God's two faces.
Of the days past it's a time for reflection
Of days to come, it's one of anticipation
Of the year that was past, it's delusions
Will all go, with the evening of celebrations
After toasts-n-treats at party's satisfaction
It's time to plan for the new year's action
Some list out many an important resolution
For life's problems, to find better solution
So I see on this New Year's Day today
A mild sun saying: 'chill's goin' away'
The air seemed fresher, birds were chirpier
The phones kept ringing, texting the cheer
Like on life's long highway, a milestone
That says 'friend you've just crossed one,
There's more to come, keep driving (living)
In hope, your dream's yours for achieving! '
So friends, this indeed's a day of true hope
That's common for all across the globe This day in calendar remains unchanged
In giving you and me chance for change.
