A New Life

A new chapter in my life has been opened
5 months have passed since then
Exhilarated by a sense of freedom
Finally in control of my very own destiny

A wonderful man has become part of my life
4 months of true love and happiness
Feelings of immeasurable passion
Now free to be who I am

Yet another change is in store for me
1 month from now a new job
Engulfed by a multitude of emotions
A chance to broaden my horizons

The past has been left behind
The present is the best I’ve ever known
The future is full of hope
All of this has made me the person that I’ve become

If my dreams are ever to be realized
The courage & strength must come from within

Great indeed, but there are some cynics who mayn't like your joy and so pray to God that their evil hearts mustn't curse you to get troubles. May God bless you and your family always!

Great work. I am at that place also. Finding time for oneself and staying focused is the best thing that could happen to anyone. Thanks for sharing

It s a really inspiring poem and a policy everyone should adopt in their lives, we kept on crying for the same reason again and again that lives being cruel with us, instead of this we should find other opportunities for us, for life is full of opportunities and you only need to find it, the past may be dead but future can be bright, don t let your past destroy your future
