(To A. B. Ghebremariam)
You have thrown off the bonds
That bound you so tight
And out of the darkness
Have stepped into light.
Now it all lies before you
Like a banquet so bright
And inviting with everything new —
New year, new life, new career,
So spread out your wings
And fly high without fear.
I wish you a very exciting
and Happy New Year.

P.S. And I wish the same to all my other friends on PH!
