Dear New Year

Dear New Year,

I write this letter to you on behalf of my fellow human beings. You are someone very special for all of us. I write this to remind you about the many things we did on the new year eve, as we eagerly awaited your arrival. We stayed up late into the night, sang songs and danced to happy tunes. Many of us even played with fireworks wishing fresh hope and renewed joy into the lives of six billion of us.

Trust me, as we waited for you we drafted many resolutions, decided to be different and imagined wild fortunes for ourselves. As we lay in your lap during the next 365 days, fill us with love and peace and harmony and help us grow into bigger and wiser humans. With the passage of time, as you turn old and as we all eagerly wait once again to welcome your sibling make sure we see him as better humans.
