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!
