À l’heure du tout à l’image et du buzz sans suite, «l’express» souhaite faire découvrir la plume de poètes, de chanteurs, d’écrivains et de tous ceux qui jettent leur âme sur le papier, et qui mettent en mots des réflexions profondes.

(Quatrain)

The old year is fast flying by,

A new year is jostling around

With whispers of warm winds from high,

And sizzling sun in the surround;

Marked by two public holidays

It`s celebrated in piety

By many on the prime first day

And then in fine festivity;

Let the heat of tropical climes

Expand the heart of every man

With compassion and make it shine

With loving care as for a friend;

Let the heart shine with human care

For those in dire wants and needs

In a spirit of bring and share

As agents of His grace, indeed;

Let the shine of peace spread apace

In the town as in the city

On the hills as in the village

In the midst of fine unity;

On New Year`s day and every day

Let us all dispel from our mind

Evil thoughts for men on our way

For peace of mind ever to find;

On New Year`s day and everyday

Let us forgive our friends and foes

For wrongs by them done, or sad woes

Inflicted to us in a sway;

On New Year`s day and everyday

Let the gem of fraternity

Spread apace its bright shining rays

To signal the festivity;

On New Year`s day and everyday

Let`s spread the message of good will

On land, at sea or in a bay

In the fields or atop the hills

On New Year`s day and everyday

Let the Lord`s grace rest with all man

His divine light brighten up their way

Joy and good health be their brethren,

Like the shine of the sun at dawn

Like dewdrops on the greenish lawn

Like singing birds at early morn

Like sunrise in the horizon.
