Courage to win in another Year ahead
We have crossed the burning deserts,
Travelled the ocean waves, braved the challenge of
storms and floods, survived the typhoon’s rage.
We have endured the pain of loss, the hardship of broken love,
helped the sick, stood by our parent’s grave.We are the true believers that goodness has the power to bring us through the hardship,
sorrows, to embrace the joys of life,
We survived the passing years and face many more to come,
We are carried by belief that truth will help us overcome the strife.When black clouds darken the horizon of our day,
We are guided by the winds of justice blowing at our back,
We see the light and will overcome what awaits along the winding track.What lies ahead we meet with fortitude, courage and our skill,
We will fight dark powers that oppress the poor, maim and kill,
No surrender to the evil deeds of the tyrant cruel,
We stand for what is right, overcome and win the struggle and the duel.
There the victory awaits when the good will overcome the bad,
That is the day we rejoice and celebrate, so be happy and be glad.Shay Cullen
