THE YEAR TO BE

As the pages 
on the calendar 
flip 
I sit still 
wondering, 
what will be 
so new... 
What fortunes 
this year 
will bring…

Will every new day 
be 
a new 
beginning? 

Will the fallen 
see the light 
Will lonely hearts 
reunite 
Will the crestfallen 
see delight 
Will spiritless souls 
reignite 

Will the hurt 
lose their pain 
Will the deprived 
stand to gain 
Will all seeds sown 
grow to grain 
Will the broken mend 
and rise up again..... 

Will our children see 
a future bright 
Will the wingless morales 
take up flight 
Will kindness overcome 
ruthless might 
Will everything really be
alright 

Will the stars walk on earth tonite!
