Notes About The Poem

''A New Years Promise''


A new sunrise and a new day and a promise.

Now, this day is the time to let go, to just let go,
Everything in my life is going to be wonderful;
Weeping will wither away and courage will embrace me.

Years, months, days of endless crying will end,
Each glistening tear will fade away;
An odd feeling swirls within me, a hope, 
Rest for my troubled soul, is what I promise me;
Sorrow and grieving will be my yesterday.

Past the mask of happiness that I wear each day,
Reaching for the reasons why to live, to go on;
O, the fragments of my life gather like storm clouds,
Misty the pieces of my former life;
I see new horizons and beautiful scenes to explore,
Still my spirit wants to soar, I want to just let go; 
End of my forever grief, is my promise this new day.
