New Beginnings

Nature is an Autumnal thief; pilferer of clinging leaves Each one rudely swept away, but a tree never grieves Well knowing in Spring, buds will reappear as sheaves Behold the dawn of sunrise as we begin another day Enfolding us in the sun's warmth with every golden ray Gray skies will often darken the horizons in our lives Intrusive, yes, but with positive thoughts, one survives Never give up, just start over, despite improbable odds Nascence and a willing desire is the impetus that plods Inside our hearts, leading us to pursue another direction New pathways to follow, after soul-searching reflection Garnering wisdom to regard the past as a mere bygone Spurring us to a better life when it's time to move on January 23, 2021 New Beginnings Contest Sponsored by: John Hamilton
