A Year Older

No promises he makes no resolution The new year is new only in notion Each day as it comes so it should be dealt There won’t be anything new emotion unfelt! The same faces met same stretches run Same daily chores till the day is done Darkened sunk eyes mirror tells it all Worries on the rise so is hair-fall! Nothing really changes life’s hit and misses Undying hope to build on the broken wishes Groveling in the troughs dreaming for the crest Praying for the miracle of next morn’s harvest! He finds new year no time to get inebriate Indulge in revelry and foolishly celebrate It’s there to warp the skin droop the shoulder Serve the stark reminder that he’s a year older!
