A prayer for hope!

A New Year may or may not bring to fruition our hopes and desires,

 And dreams may languish in forgetfulness Friends may vanish from our pages,

 Sure, but all the same Hope never dies in the human breasts, 

That there shall be heard no more the groan of voices,

As battles rage or Nature spits her venom on unsuspecting lands.

Mourning , as flights disappear God knows where

And the tears of mothers, daughters, sons and fathers

Washing the shores of despair. 

New Year, open your book to the page On which is written Man's sagacious saga of peace

And retreat from blood be-strewn drama Open your book to the page Which says "All is Well"
