Oh, year gone by, what a ride you’ve been!
Times of chaos, times serene.
Political twists sent minds a-reeling
Warmongers plotting with so little feeling
AI grew “smarter”, did humanity?
Ask of the Earth and she might not agree
The Olympics reminded us, with triumphs and tears,
No matter your background we are in-fact peers
Seeking all that humankind needs:
Happiness, security, goals to achieve.
Through wars and debates, the world spun on,
Humanity uniting us, daughters and sons.
Yet amidst all the strife, hope can find it’s place,
In acts of empathy, humility and grace
2025, remind us we ask!
That kindness never be a task
May nations find common ground ending the violence.
May neighbours be welcoming, bridging the silence
Let science keep learning and art inspire awe.
May shared dreams unite us as never before!
While challenges linger—and we can be real,
knowing that wounds of the past need to heal.
With humour, humanity, we’ll find our way,
‘25’s dawning, let’s start with today!
