It's Just Another New Year's Eve

♪ It's just another new year's eve

another night like all the rest

It's just another new year's eve

Let's make it the best ♫

It's just another new year's eve

Another chance to live and grow

And learn the lessons we conceived

From fruits of what we sow.

We should not think of it as special

For everyday is all the same

New beginning for all that is crucial

To change and not to be ashamed

Leave the past and live today

Merriment is for the morrow

Hopeful sparrows need I say

Sing joyfully not mind the sorrow

♫ It's just another new year's eve

another night like all the rest

It's just another new year's eve

Let's make it the best ♪

A blessed New Year to everyone! May the year 2012 be filled with more poetry, stories and haiku for all of us. Wish you all the best in life!

 

My Christmas Haiku

a festive season
when excited children dream

a night with Santa

reconciliation
dear ones forgive and forget

under the love spell

a joyous moment
the little infant Jesus

makes our hearts aglow

my Christmas haiku
is written for all of you

in my gratitude

Panacea

Bells of my laughter

Echoed through the universe 

Obsession of Zeus

 

Aching emptiness

Absence of panacea

Lingered till hopeless.

*****

 

Forgiveness

Many times have I failed You
No matter how hard I tried
Difficulties blocked the view
The way ahead denied.

The hurtful words I have spoken
Pierced your heart like a knife
My lies echoed in the den
Of thieves torn apart by strife.

I am a blunder.
In pain of guilt I saunter.
I am a cheat.
Entangled in the web of deceit.
I am lost.
Wandering no matter what the cost.

My Jesus, I ask forgiveness
For all the wrongs I have done.
I long for You with gladness.
With you I may be one.

Create in me a clean heart
That we may never part.
Blot out all my sins.
In this warfare I want to win.

This is my gift to You, dear Lord
To live according to Your Word.
For peace and love to reign
In everyone's heart You ordain.

Happy Birthday Jesus!
