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
Precious peace has been on hold
While Man wages war
Another new year
Yet again peace eludes us
As conflict prevails
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
Gabby
