Happy New Year by Poet Extraordinaire Regis Auffray With Musical Accompaniment



 

Happy New Year!


A troublesome year

Two thousand and twenty-three

In so many ways 

In these troubled times

It is hard to concentrate

On the positive 

The white dove of peace

Chased by the eagle of war

Finds no place to land

Perhaps one can find

Through the portal of one’s soul

Some semblance of peace

When I was a child

The concepts of war and peace

Never crossed my mind 

It appears to me

The stairway to heaven is

In need of repairs

Throughout history

Precious peace has been on hold

While Man wages war

Another new year

Yet again peace eludes us

As conflict prevails

While most understand

The futility of war

The latter yet thrives

 It seems redundant

The same wishes every year

For peace and healing

Wishes from the heart

Expressed over millennia

Ever more needed

The new year is here

It seems only yesterday

I was doing this

Wishing friends and family

And every being on Earth

A Happy New Year

And From Book Readers Heaven, I add, for Hope, Truth, and Peace

For All!

God Bless
