Happy New Year - A Poem by Bijay Raut

[Bijay Raut]

Happy New Year

Like the dew drops in the early morning grass,
Fresh and clear as pearls in the rays of sunshine,
Like the blossoming of magnolia in the early spring,
Gracefully clad in white as a beautiful bride,
Like the eastern sky in the early dawn,
Magnificently bright with the glow of the rising Sun,
Like the spark on her face with the spell of love,
Blushing in passion, romance and shy,
Like the innocent baby in the mother’s lap,
Bubbling in bliss and carefree as heaven’s clouds,
May likewise be this happy new year,
And the days be gone of fear and tear.
