New Year Contemplation Poem by HAKAM ABUBAKAR

Life takes new turns as time wanes
A lot said, a lot done; what remains?
I sprint into ardent prayer as a new year
calls on me; to live again, and my affairs steer
While I delve into an intense contemplation on how
foggy the days ahead seem
Expectations compound, and I think it fair enough
for me to reshuffle my team
Interestingly this life has its own whims
It has its own fancies and fashioned dreams
These words; my thoughts, shall linger on as they
strike consciences and evoke thoughts
But tomorrow shall only cast me on the culminations
of the efforts that I wrought
Gracious Lord, make this a novel year
Free from difficult puzzles, free from hunting fear
Let it be a year of mending the broken pieces of
relations that were conditional
Make it one that will see us daring the hectic and accomplishing
projects exceptional
I feel a new breeze blowing at this transitional moment
I sense a refreshing ambiance and espy a noveau crescent
Yes! I know. I know that in the fuzziness of our path
to prosperity
Our hope and stride shall lead our way till eternity.
