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

Linda Craddick Date: 8/28/2021 4:46:00 PM I love the comparison of new beings and new years to blank pages. You are right; they need to filled oh so wisely. Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 8/28/2021 7:19:00 PM Thank you, Linda. I appreciate your comment.

Terry Flood Date: 8/28/2021 2:29:00 PM 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 Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 8/28/2021 7:20:00 PM Thank you, Terry. I hope Kim doesn't have the same problem you did. Have a great weekend.
