In the new year,
I met some new persons
Wishing me "Happy Birthday"
With my best friend.

First came a beautiful lady
Adorned with many colourful flowers,
Keeping a smile on her face,
Wished me.
But...after some moment cried silently
Remembering all her past days.
I asked, "who are you? "
She said, "I am peace. "
"I'll help you sans violence, sans jealousy. "
"Will you be my friend forever? "
"No one wants my company for an hour".

Then I saw a young man
With sparkling eyes and a dazzling face,
Bedecked with stars,
He expressed his lovely wishes.

While I was in deep thought,
The earth felt the touch of divine feet.
I was surprised to hear
The voice of an innocent child.
Breaking my daydream,
Asked the child- "will you make me your guide? "
I laughed.
What!
Can be a child my guide?
Just then,
I discovered two gift packs in its hand.
Those were nothing,
But meeting and departure;
And with these feelings,
The child wished me,
"Happy new year".

Among my new friends,
I thought, "where is my best friend? "
Not yet come.
Just then,
I saw someone with lots of gifts,
Smile on face,
Love in eyes,
Books in hands.
Sans violence,
Sans feign,
Sans jealousy,
He wished me a brigh future,
On my birthday in the new year.

I opened my eyes,
Looked at the world,
Upon my honour;
Promised to make friendship
With all I met in the new world.
On my heart and soul,
Professed my love
To my best friend.
Oh!
He is none,
But my dear God.
