A Century Of Opportunity

When the much anticipated millennium
Finally arrived with pomp and splendor,
The world stood ready,
To embrace a joyous occasion.

Across the globe countries celebrated,
And were determined to make,
The new century a prosperous,
And peaceful one for all humanity.

With spectacular displays,
That dazzled and inspired the creative,
It was the ideal moment,
To continue the search beyond the glitz,
And create lasting good for all mankind.

If the memories can last,
With focus and drive remaining high,
And if the will to persevere can prevail,
This can be a century of unparallel glory
