A New Begining

Get over it they said
the past is past, it's dead
open your heart it's a brand new day.
smell the roses
take time to play
dwelling on times gone by
turns the future black as night
say i love you loud and clear 
to all the ones that you hold dear
suffacating is dispair
without forgiveness there is no air
some succomb, turn dead inside
others still fight the fight
draw upon loved ones strength
pray to God and offer thanks
believe in yourself 
never lose faith
the power of love will keep you safe
mistakes are made 
it's part of life
you can't know love 
if you've not known strife
each moment in time is meant to be
though reasons maybe hard to see
even the darkest cloud is lined
with silver that's stood up to time
a reminder to hold on to who you are
and believe in the magic of a shooting star
