Terrific poem, Yvette.

A hint of hope to make it through
hard times <-- Often just a hint of hope can give us the boost we need to keep going.

service in silence to all <-- the only kind that's unselfish and done strictly for others and not for recognition

A year of youth I send to you,
that is, young eyes and youthful heart. <-- Important, but also necessary is the strength and good health that comes with youth.

    Yeah, would love to have written more in here, Phyllis -- was trying to stick to my alliterative theme but "y" is a very "limiting" letter -- LOL!! :) :) Thank you so very much for the read and review, Beautiful Lady -- looking forward to a great year! :) Happy 2019! :) ;) Yvette :)

A very well-written rhyming poem and great New Year's wish for everyone. We can all have a new fresh start and we can hope not to get tired and weary before the new year comes to an end again.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

I had to look up "yardam!" Thanks for this creative blessing in poetry with each verse focused on alliteration of a one particular letter. So fun to read and a joy to receive this lovely poetic greeting. A very Happy, Healthy, Joyous New Year to you and yours, Yvette!!!

What a rainbow of wishes and blessings! And a prayer for leaving the old and embracing the promises of the new. Many are the deeply meaningful words and lines that inspire... but for me the first and the last stanza stand out, as a transformational power from above makes way to a higher consciousness.

Lovely, lovely!
Originally expressed, beautifully phrased verses.
Positive wishes overflowing with hope and joy.
I especially like the last verse, though the others are grand, too.
Very nicely done.

Hi, Yvette. This is very nice of you to take the time to wish us all Happy New Year this way.

I liked this stanza the best, I think:

"A touch of trust to paint in lieu
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"

Happy New Year, my friend. Bob

Good luck Yvette in the Rhyming Poem contest. I liked the pattern you used and the entire topic of your poem. It had a calming, comforting sense to it. And it definitely met the criteria of the contest.

Not only have you managed to write a well rhymed, genuinely feel-good piece of poetry for the Rhyming Poem Contest, Yvette. But you also carry us into the new year filled with hope, happiness and prayer for preservation of a perfect, peaceful life.
Bravo!
Happy New Year...

    Thanx for the beautiful stars and kind comments, Sir Dean -- great to hear from you over here in the wasteland that is my 'mother-in-law's' .... I kinda think of myself as Mad Max just making it through (LOL!) ... I did manage to finish this one on the first day and a half and post it last night....not really the picture I would have wanted, but working on my little tablet isn't as easy as on the computer at home! :) :) :) Thanx so much again, and Happy New Year with a smile -- catch you in 2019! :) Yvette
