A New Day

Thirty miles east of Montréal Through the driving winds and northern scrawls Arose a glimmer of hope and talent The youngest child of fourteen children she was gallant Stardom and recognition climbed While we were all intoxicated by her songs and rhyme Ruptured by her tender ballads and her songbird style “A new day” hit the music charts and I smiled And I fell into a state of bliss This song hit me because my divorce had exited I felt the rain come down and wash my tears I felt moved by the new love in my life God heard my prayers “I can’t believe I ‘ve touched by an angel of love” God had given me a new chance at a real love “Hush now I see a light in your eyes” And I did see the light and happiness in his blue eyes For a decade I’ve had a private love affair for her music Celine Dion is iconic and an American classic Her classic pop reaches into the depths of me I’m in a state of rushing water, running free Celine Dion “A new day”! Inspired by the music to your pen contest!

Hi Laura my friend, I've always love Celine Dion's heart spirit and voice. She sings like an angel. Her theme song in Titanic was absolutely amazing! I knew she was from a BIG family, I think that is why she understanding the human heart so well, her compasion and understanding really comes through in her voice. Beautiful tribute to a beautiful lady! Well done. Truly enjoyed. Take care hun. Have a great, safe, holiday weekend! Love Light Truth Patricia

Celine Dion's talents were not well recognized in the U.S. until she recorded the Titanic theme, but what a hauntingly beautiful voice she has. Your poem is a great tribute to her skills. (I didn't know she was from a family of 14!!) Canada has so many talented artists; I'm a big fan of Bryan Adams, too. Excellent writing, Laura! Love, Carolyn
