If 2016 was bad in many respects and if it is handing over to 2017 its baton, how can we hope that 2017 will be a better one? A bad person cannot hand over a good baton to his successor. The successor has to throw away that baton to the dust bin. See, which year wasn't bad? All our years were an admixture of good and bad. Goodness is always there but we have trained our mind to be pessimistic. We can certainly highlight the good activities that are going around us but who is actually doing it? I think that you are in the financial sector and so, have used such terms as balance sheet etc.
It is so easy to have all these feelings, specially the kind of news is fed to us every day. Wish you a happy new year nonetheless. And congratulations for your personal achievement.
Congrats, a very well deserved selection as members' poem of the day. Let us hope the best for 2017.
Happy New Year, Mohammed! ! ! ! ! .. Congrats on being chosen for the day+++++++++++++++++
Life is filled with trials and errors. Hope starts and ends with good balance sheet. So Happy New Year. Congrats on PoD. Loved your Balance sheet, carry forward only hope, passion and fulfilment of previous year. Make a good start.
Giving hopes at he start and giving excuses at the end has been the usual experience people mostly get, immaterial of geographic location. Politicians play the game and we watch. Thanks for the thought provoking poem. Congrats for being the member's PoD.

Congrats on Poem of the Day. As you tally up your balance sheet (nice poetic touch) , look for both sides...hopefully they exist and will in 2017. Nice to end with hope.
Thank u so much, Ms. Pamela, Trial balance will always tally even with suspense account, yet I hope this year all deficit gets wiped off and positive balances emerge.
Congratulations for your poem getting selected as Poem of the Day.Before starting any thing new we take stock of the old. Many things did not come out as per our expectations..Let us open our days with lots of HOPE..
Beautiful thoughts on the vicissitudes of fortune in 2016 and the stark contrast between the expectations and the actual materialization! Let us hope the New Year has better things to offer! Congrats Asim!
Thank you, Madam, hope this year will bring happiness, pink health and prosperity.
History is the greatest predictor of the future and the history of mankind is rather bleak. I doubt 2017 will be a bit better than 2016. That aside, congratulations on poem of the day.
Thanks much, I also keep my fingers cross and hope this year will be better than the past.
A realistic poem. It's true that things don't change miraculously as we enter a new year. In fact with every passing year problems are rising worldwide. But still human heart must have hope. That's the only way to go forward. The formal greetings n pleasantries exchanged at new year give us some happy moments. Well penned. Congrats. A10.

Very thoughtful poem, Years are passing by and we have nothing to record absolutely. What closing balances should I carry? What opening balances should I show?
