Exceptional A 'Lil' New Year's Wish for All I Wish for You... by Y. M. Roger Rhyming Poem contest entry

A touch of trust to paint in lieu  of trials and traumas long past… May time’s transformational strokes  touch-up with a tint that evokes  a treasure of triumphs to last   A hint of hope to make it through  hard times when hazards seem hidden… May happiness and high spirits be  the hallmarks of life’s honesty  highlighted with hymns unbidden   A pinch of peace ‘midst morning dew  found on pillows of passion fine… May the promises of pleasure  prove too plentiful to measure  with prosperity poured like wine   A sense of soul I pray for you,  of salvation sought without guile… May service in silence to all  show you strength found in slight and small  and let sureness shine through your smile   A year of youth I send to you,  that is, young eyes and youthful heart. May your thoughts on yesteryear yield  a yen with new yearnings revealed… Yardarm raised!                            Yoke in hand!                                                       Fresh start!   Recognized Author Notes Happy New Year to all my fellow FanStorians! Looking forward to what 'writes' ahead in 2019!
