New Beginnings Mia

New-borns are the Epitome of new beginnings With whole lifetimes ahead of them. Bright futures await Everyone who seizes opportunities Given to them Instead of focusing on minor disabilities. New Year’s Days always remind us of New starts, and Invites us to make New Resolutions to make our futures better. Granted, a new page is always blank So, it is up to us to fill it wisely. Revised with message Especially for “Message in An Acrostic 2” Poetry Contest Sponsored by Kim Rodrigues

"New Year’s Days always remind us of New starts," This is for sure! And why don't we do this every month?

Good idea. Why don't we? Perhaps it's because we make a big hype out of New Year's.

You are correct, Milton, every year, new promises but never accomplished; this is a profound poem with wonderful messages about our future generation that we need to take good care of. Best wishes with the contest.

Wise words, Milt. Not helped that my tablet displayed the ‘i’ poorly, so I was wondering what babes narms were. Spotted the ‘i’ eventually and all made sense. Good luck in Kim’s contest. Terry
