New Beginnings
New Beginnings
By Beverly Martin
Each day a new beginning
Filled with brand new starts
A chance to really listen
To the voice within our hearts
Did yesterday even happen
Is the memory even true
Your memory may be different
To the yesterday you thought you knew
As lockdown rules are lifted
I smell freedom in the air
Another new beginning
I say in whispered prayer
The year that brought much learning
A spread of love and light
Of healing wounds from long ago
Observing fight and flight
Each day a new beginning
Possibilities never end
As bodies touch and souls collide
Some lovers, some true friends
Our paths are always crossing
With souls we need to find
To teach us and to challenge us
To show the importance in being kind
Each night a new beginning
Led by the great new moon
Rest easy folks asleep in bed
The sun will be back soon
As time will keep on ticking
The planets too will turn
Each morning a new beginning
As the flame will always burn
Each morning when sun rises
As we wake from distant dreams
Each day brings new beginnings
Nothing is ever as is seems
When the world may feel like chaos
And you just need to retreat
Get into nature walk the woods
Never fear defeat
Let the magic of the forest
Forever sooth your soul
Just hear the whisper of the trees
So wise as they get old
When the world may feel like chaos
Don’t forget to breathe
First thing we do when we are born
And the last thing when we leave
Each day a new beginning
No younger do we get
As I look into the mirror
I never will forget
To love the lines and wrinkles
That show upon my face
I’m thankful to be getting old
I’ll age with love and grace
Each day a new beginning
A chance to find your tribe
The world is ever changing
So jump on, enjoy the ride
Don’t waste another moment
Living in the past
Or worrying about the future
Time goes by too fast
Each day a new beginning
To find the meaning of life
To chase new dreams you heart desires
To heal the pain and strife
The meaning of life is simple
A beautiful gift to give
A lifelong quest to finally find
You simply need to live.
