May there be no doubts, no fears, ahead 
No wet eyelids, no tears ahead, 
May 2021 be nicer, kinder and brighter too  
May happier be your years ahead.
 

May laughter fill all hearts with joy
All ships at sea, all ahoy,
May the waters lie still and calm
All typhoons shy, muted and coy.
 

May roses line the paths you tread
May you never regret the words you said, 
May you always have whatever you need 
And, never run short of the daily bread.
 

No dark nights, no trying times
No discordant notes, just happy rhymes
May the New Year bring back smiles on faces 
Each day of it rising in sunnier climes.
 

May all your dreams and wishes come true 
And, the stars above all shine for you,  
May evening shadows meld into nights 
Greeted by Dawns, all fresh and New.
 

May the rays of the Sun through your windows, peep 
May you always remember to your promises keep, 
May you sow the seeds of cheer and fun 
And may you, forever, then happiness reap.
 

Happy New Year

Amen.
