Happy New Year

John W Jackson Jr.

Sonnet
It all started a while back don’t you know.
Three hundred and sixty-five days ago.
The end of the year is finally here.
Will the new year bring you more joy than fear?
—
Twelve more months to fore fill your fantasies.
Fifty-two weeks to help your families.
Thinking of making new resolutions.
Hoping that this time it’s the solution.
—
We look forward to what the new year brings.
We want love, happiness and other things.
Hope your new year brings you only luck that’s good.
And you get everything you hoped you would.
—
Just be good and you have nothing to fear.
I wish us all a very Happy New Year.
