The Passing Away

As the seconds fleet

As the minutes pass

As the hours move...a feeling of vacuum sets in.

The mind is vacant,the heart expectant,

The soul mourns....

the passing away of yet another year.

A year full of mixed experiences,

Many joyful...many tearful.

As the world celebrates the birth of another year

Freshly born....filled with suspenses...another year 

Of joys and sorrows,victories and defeats,

love and hate.

We dwell.

We know not what the future holds for us,

We know not what the New year heralds.

There is a deep sense of anticipation...eagerness.

Readiness to face another....hopefully fulfilling year.

Amidst joy and cheer..we bid adieu

to the past year...lost in the sands of Time,

Never to be regained again.

We thank the Supreme Power...

For His mercy and blessings...throughout the year.

We thank Him for the strength...

In facing the trials and tribulations.

And, we pray...

That He be with us...throughout the coming year.
