That's Prasita saying it with a bang...

As a new year rears its beautiful head,

I wish you all, much peace and love,

Through rosy paths, may your days be led,

And, your every wish heard, high up above!!!

Lay your woes to rest, with the year gone by,

And, start this year with renewed strength,

May every opportunity, at your doorstep, lie,

And, happiness find you, through the year's length!!!

Resolutions made, whether stuck to, or not,

What really counts is the willful enthusiasm,

Let your energy overflow like a brimming pot,

With absolutely no room for any kind of spasm!!!

With all to-do, every year starts with a big bang,

But, to keep it going, is what matters the most,

End not with a whimper; keep up the distinct tang,

Twelve months from now, of a good year, will ye boast!!!

With these wishes, I bring, my poem to a close,

May happiness and smiles hog every day of your year,

May friends greatly outnumber any and all your foes,

And, may sadness, never, its unwelcome head, rear!!!

Happy New Year!!!
