Beginning End

Today new hope begins
Or is it
Today is the end
No one will ever know
For definite sure
When the end comes
Will it just be a beginning?
For hope, peace, ultimate glory
He has risen; he calls
For the faithful in truth
With passionate love
To be together
Beyond infinity
As his book foretold,
In complete detail
From beginning to end



I call this a reverse palindrome, it may be read beginning at top or beginining from bottom.
