A New Year's Poem...

A New Year's poem...
2016! It's the new year, it's coming!
So play a loud horn, dance a jig, do some drumming!
Let's cry out for peace, drop the hate, the pretenses,
​let's hug up the world,smile some smiles,mend some fences.

There's no need to divide by religion or race,
not by gender, or status, so tied to a place.
The time is now here to remember we're one!
We're all here on this planet, "us" under the sun!

We all need the same things - food and home and good friends,
we're all searching for love, the kind that never ends.
So, let's hope, live in joy, work for peace everyday,
and then nap, take a pause, spend some time - rest and play!
