A New Song
I am going to start this brand New Year,
with a tranquil song in my heart!
I will look at my deepest thoughts,
and find all the hurt of the past,
the sorrow and all the anger.
And in the flame of my mind all will burn away,
until only ashes remain on this new day.
Self love and hope will then be mine,
It will radiate from my soul,
and my heart will reflect great peace.
I am going to start this brand New Year,
with a tranquil song in my heart!
I will find joie de vivre,
and carry the sun in my soul,
and the moon in a golden place.
I will pour everything into my dancing,
my pen will bleed beauty into my writing.
Compassion, joy, patience, and truth,
are my new companions for life.
I will walk with a new attitude.
I am going to start this brand New Year,
with a tranquil song in my heart!
I will smell this life's sweet fragrance,
drinking in all the great beauty,
till my last day my glass will be full.
But, inside I weep for the war ravaged dying,
for all those victims lost, homeless and starving.
I will find ways that I can help,
I will make time for the homeless.
This is day one of forever.
I am going to start a brand New Year,
with a tranquil song in my heart!
