To New Beginnings

Here's looking forward to new beginnings
with good things ahead and happy endings
No more looking back and dwelling on the past
Lets work toward something that's gonna last

Reach for the stars and touch the sky
don't drag on the bottom try flying high
Jump out and test your flight for destiny
and take a breath and see how freeing it can be

Know the greatness that dwells inside of you
and be very confident of the things you can do
the light in you can not be hid away
it must shine brighter and brighter every day

So here's looking to new beginnings and lets all do our best
to make 2016 a year that shall truly be blessed.

your words soften my heart like a damsel in need of a companion..... Your lines are sweeteners to a curious mind which is absolutely satisfied. There's this eagerness I have running to your pages and your reputation of meeting that expectation is beyond any form of appreciation or grading. Beyond 7 my friend!!
