HAPPINESS FOREVER-a poem welcoming the New Year.By R.Natarajan

                             

                     HAPPY NEW YEAR-2013

     Hark, hark the blithesome chiming of temple bells

    Arrival of the New Year verily it tells                                

    The past sped fast--it can't last or linger

    Future beckons-the New Year is its harbinger

    Loads of woes,lots of worries and ire,

    Hatred, regrets ,fears were all here.

    Cast them away with the year that's gone.

    This year is new and new is this morn

   Welcome, welcome oh, year of hope and joy.

   Give us strength of body.mind and soul,ahoy!

   Let ringing bells and shining lights usher

   Mirth,merriment and happiness forever!
