With the rise of a new dawn
And with January, a new year
We look out to the horizon
And set a few goals
Another twelve months
Granted and held
Imagining with promise
Times full of both harmony and peace
With losses abundant
Restrictions innumerable
Set-backs repeated
And devastation rampant
From the year twenty, twenty
And profound lessons learnt
I trust we embark
On an entirely different tract
Whirl pooling around us
Negativity has left few untouched
Time now for a one eighty
With light and positivity
A warmth, an inclusion
With more meeting of the minds
For a prevailing clarity
So the darkness can be expelled
Perhaps rather than goals
We need instead to reset
The vision of hope
With the return to a strength and unity.
