On the Edge

Hand in hand they stand
On the edge of tomorrow
Leaving the baggages behind
Buried in a heap of broken dreams
Interrupted aspirations
That kept them chained captives
Disengaging the doubts and fears
Exploring new horizons

Hand in hand they stand
Forging a genuine friendship
Released by the magic of time
In whose keeping lies the key
That opens and shuts all doors
Answering only to its guardian
Who prescribes the course of men
Fulfilling his plans throughout the ages

New beginnings....it is never too late to make a fresh start, and even better if it's hand in hand with someone you care for and who cares for you. ~ Love, Carrie
