Happy New Year 2k17 Poem by Dr John Celes

Gone's the Old Year, none can hold it back;
Born's the New Year, whether you like or not!
Big's the moment in human history, time;
Welcome the New Year with hope, warmth and cheer!

Hark the herald brings us bliss anew;
Dawn's the New Year like a special morn;
Change, it will the world's scenario!
May peace and prosperity rain on all!

Let songs and dance and sound of music, lights
Mark the day as mankind celebrates;
Let foods exotic, savories and wine
Fill the hearts and minds with jubilation.

Dressed are most in new apparel, smiles;
Some are busy greeting their brethren;
Laugh and be merry despite woes in heart;
But remember to love your neighbors, God!

Happy New Year to all my dear medico 1974 batch-mates
