Hope and Pray

Hope 2021 brings

a lot of exuberance and cheer

contentment and resilience

to our lives...

the gone by year having taught us

value of happiness in small doses

at the same time... benefits of

staying tuned to indomitable spirit

Hope the New Year invokes good vibes

and fellow feeling...

to make us internalize

virtues of hand holding.

where everyone has someone

to fall back upon

a comforting shoulder to lean on

and wisdom of yore to imbibe

Hope and pray

the almighty blesses us with forbearance

to plug leakages of porous border

that this transition has to offer

embellishes our core with compassion

to make 2021 an enchanting and joyous

New Year.
