New Year, Starting From Tonight Poem by Mark Heathcote

Let's hope this New Year brings us closer.
Let's hope it closes the distance between the fissures.
Let's hope it mends those broken fences.
Let's hope it bridges all those gaps.
Let's hope this New Year heals us all.
Let's hope it's filled with love and friendship.
Let's hope it's a shining example for our kids.
Let's hope it kick-starts your heart, starting tonight.
Let's hope this New Year has a resolution.
Let's hope that resolution lasts beyond our lives.
Let's hope everyone has fought their last fight.
Let's hope we can build a better future.
Starting right now, one second after midnight
Starting right now, let's make the future bright.
No use thinking good times are impending.
Let's all make it happen, starting tonight.
