Dawn of a New Day

"So it’s the dawn of a new day,
A blank canvas, I would say

To dream and explore,
And broaden your life more

To find joy in this moment,
Or is it life’s torment

That you are looking to blot out,
So only happiness will come about

From decisions that we make,
And our dreams have a stake 

That we will be emotionally secure,
Whatever we shall endure

For love can make a heart,
Just as it can tear it apart

Inflicting pain and remorse,
As people chose a different course

To find what is important for themselves, 
And for us, to look inside ourselves 

To see that space,
Which can never be replaced

Believe then that today is the first day of your life, 
To fill your heart with new memories that are right

Covering the hole left behind,
When our hearts unwind
