New Dawn

This is a poem I had written to welcome the new year, 2014. It's for all the memories I made in the year, all the wonderful people I met and all the experiences I had. I know It's a little late to post it, but it better late than never! :) Happy Reading!!

GOODBYE 2013, 
HELLO 2014

As this year draws to a close,
I look back at the millions of memories,
Wishing that was where time froze.
But as we all know,
Time and tide waits for no man
We just have to go with the flow.

The future is blurred and has no certain plan,
But this I know for sure,
That there can be no memories more pure,
Than the ones I made this year.

All the future hold, for now, is uncertainty and fear.

The time spent with friends,
The time spent with family,
All this together into a sweet memory is blends.

The last year of togetherness, before we disperse
Yonder into a world unknown and terse.
How soon time flew,
How soon the fondness grew
Rendering a painful, albeit inevitable, adieu.

The new year holds great prospects
New family, new friends
New roads to travel,
New mysteries to unravel,
New memories to make,
New experiences to rake.

To those who had me in their thrall,
To those who were with me in spring and fall,
To those who gave me melancholy and mirth,
To those who proved their worth,
I am in your debt.

2014, I would like to welcome with open hands,
ready to meet its challenges and demands.
Having travelled through rough mountains,
Clear rills, deep valleys and dusty sands,
All I want this year is to arrive at the peaceful, calm meadowlands.
