Happy? New year!

Ring out the old, bring in the new,

The year past is gone, let it go;

Ring out the false, bring in the true,

All is unmarked and so is you.

Ring out the old…Ring out the false?

Should acquaintances old be forgot?

Should links distraught be forgot?

And never again be brought to mind

Those who haven’t been a lil’ kind..?

Ring out the old…Ring out the false?

Can the broken strings unite?

Served us handful sobbing plight

It left no footstep, mark or place

That it has in my heart embrace.

I feel average; I always do

Whats ‘Happy’ with the year anew?

Time torn away, no voices call

But I don’t wish nor want to say..

‘Happy new year’ t’ye all !

Yes I do!

I remember, Yes I do!

The one-room house where I was born
The modest window that glanced the day;
The earthy urchins that bubbled below,
And their freedom that borne my breath away.

I remember, Yes I do!

The roses pink and white,
The hens and Panzy who strayed blithe
The nest that the sparrow built;
And the yellow bulb that gave me light.

I remember, Yes I do!

The dark red bricks, the thin white lines,
The clean white gown near the Jesus-Mary shrine
Christian Cross, the ‘attention’ by the PTI;
And hence my sobbing fearful cries.

I remember, Yes I do!

My only fighter plane
Flew my spirits in feathers then,
The cuddling up to Mom;
And that caring kiss upon the head.

I remember, Yes I do!

Where I used to swing
Catching air with my wings,
Childish ignorance then, now sheer joy;
And all I wish again, that I were a boy!
