All I Want For New Year Poem by Bernard F. Asuncion

All I want for new year
Is to give praise to God;
Worship Him with my heart,
Despite the threat of flood.

Horizon may be bleak,
Uncertain and stormy;
All I wish is to stay
Active in my duty.

I want to remain firm
In true faith, hope, and love;
In spite of affliction,
I will serve God above.

I want to continue
Calling God's divine name;
Keeping the spirit's fire
Just alive and aflame.

Days shall come to a close,
World's end is drawing near;
Wait for God's promise is
All I want for new year.
