A New and Old Sway

Once a man told me of this saying so clear, That I have noticed comes true every time. Such a simple saying with a meaning sincere, Left deep impression on my mind, in my prime, Just one line and here is what he said to me. He said, “A new broom always sweeps so clean“. At first not knowing what he meant in any degree. In just a little while, I understood what he did mean. If you have ever swept any floor with a new broom, Then you know the ease of flowing dirt in those piles. With an older broom, it takes longer to groom. Along with it might seem like traveling miles. Humanity terms it means, a new person works hard, To prove maybe their worth, in a new position held. Though after time they seem to fade, playing a card, Then they seem to fade into the shadows and quelled. quote " A New Broom always sweeps clean"
