Jessie Tong: Thoughts on the New Year
When we were young, we pined for the new year,
Now we dread it.
One year passes after another,
And now we are in our twilight years.
On looking back,
60 years passed in the twinkling of an eye,
We were innocent in our childhood,
Idealist in our adolescence,
Hardworking in our youth,
Struggling in our middle years,
Formed our characters in our strongest years,
Resting in our retirement years.
The new year is soon upon us,
Treasure every year,
Nurture yourselves,
We don’t ask to live for a hundred years,
We ask to live in peace.
