Happy True Year 2021
Away with the year that claimed scores
That compelled the world to stay indoors
A flu airborne in ravenous spread
Edging out for many their daily bread
A year that was strongly bequeathed and claimed
Three months lived and nine months maimed
But what is faith if not hope against the odds
The gleam in the dark that lights up the ephod
Assuring that God's Grace is sufficient
And warming our hearts to remain reverent
That we may not faint in the day of trouble
That we may live to see our recompense double
Do you still want to make those resolutions
That are still a decade old illusion
Go on for this is that season
I'll soon see you break out from them like prison
Only be transformed by the renewal of your minds
A certain time of year is hardly anything that binds
Blessed be your coming year
These be my wishes and not claims from a seer
Whatever a man sows, he shall reap
The year comes with no pledge or promise to keep
But God is the Sure Guide to they that seek Him
May this year see Him burst your brims
K. Muitherero.
