New Beginnings
Nostalgia lives in all of us; to our minds it brings
Enchanting recollections of very special things
Which we sometimes cling to, but these memories are flitting wings.
Butterfly wings! Lovely they may be, but these old times have gone away.
Eventually we must move on – and make new memories!
Grasp every opportunity that comes to you each day.
Invent new things to do. Open your eyes. See what’s carried by the breeze:
New butterflies - bright and beautiful - are sure to come along.
Nab those precious butterflies. Bring them to your loved ones before they flee.
Immerse yourself in loving life; sing a brand new song!
Nurture in yourself a caring and sharing spirit. Enjoy harmony.
Giving to others, you will feel more alive,
So fashion new beginnings, and with happiness ever thrive.
