A New Year Poem by Valentine Mbagu

Alas, a year long awaited has unveiled her veil
Her beauty, a flower eager to bloom, to unfold her petal,
Her fragrance, a sweet smelling savour out to prevail
Her pride, a new born that comes with a golden medal.

A dawn of a new year that beams like sunlight
It breaths at a peak that unfolds a feeling of better things ahead,
It's heart beats and dances to the tune of moonlight
Her ego, a new year that surpassed the test of time to tread.

It's a new year that bids the heart of all to rejoice
Her hands extended, reaches out to the heavens above,
It's abundance of rain falls like water with many voice
Her heart a cistern of life, a heart that is as pure as a dove.

An epitome of new history it is, a new year waiting to unfold
It's grain a field so green as green could ever be,
Her feast a taste, a best of new year never untold
A new year it is, that is as fertile as fertility can ever be.

It's a new year, a 2015, a new born
A year that births the pearls and treasures of many Ireland,
Her rhythm a rhyme of music never torn
A new year that rests on the treasures of many land.
