Born Once Again

The gift of a new day holds the promise of a new way A new way of seeing A renewed way of being The shedding of old skin A fresh place to begin Resurrected once more for the treasures in store A farewell to the old A chance for the gold The sunshine above Another day to love With strength in your flesh and a mind that is fresh New ideas to conceive with more grace to receive To dance in the dawn and forget what is gone To sing like a bird and speak a new word To celebrate when you are born once again

I'm very glad to hear that, thank u Heidi! This was one that just flowed for me, I wrote it pretty quickly just this morning, in less than half an hour. :)
