Poem New hope for the new year

A new year is coming for resolutions

Slowly, slowly, this one is starting to disappear

In the book of life, each year shares its fulfillment

In one lens, we reveal our secret feelings

12 months have been cut, not even beating the hedge

2022 will leave many of us lucky, even some desperate

It is not easy, nor is it difficult

Even we are hanging on the edge of the fence, so we are not fools

We are struggling, we are scared, brave, standing strong

To wear this precious gift that is closer than diamonds and gold

The time has come to say ‘Thank you and Goodbye’

But the memory remains engraved in the museum of our memory

Those two days that bring joy to every heart, are all around

Our faces portray the most beautiful smiles filled with love

Seychelles is a dignified people, proud of our identity

Under a heavenly salt, revive our unity in the splendor of solidarity

In front of us, the great master has displayed the light of our future

Stay together, strong, united as one family

Let a new hope filter into our future

Provides a source of positive energy in our system

May our body become that river of compassion where sincere love flows

Our spirit makes him calm so that he can decide

Hope that 2023 will be in every sense, much better

For the relief of this small blessed country and keep its children always proud.
