New Year, New Beginnings
By Erica L.
Looking through the window?s glass.
Feeling like the freshman class.
Now what?s one good possibility?
A new beginning, yes, you see.
So nervous for saying ?bye?to the past.
The New Year has come at last.
Take a deep breath of life.
Now breathe out all the death.
What will this bring?
Was it worth the waiting?
A million tragic possibilities run through
my head.
No, I should think good things instead!
This could be the start of something
great!
Maybe we will throw away the hate!
Let?s start with a good step.
That?s what we should do, this challenge I
accept.
Oh, but the scary thoughts keep coming
back.
God, fill me full this new year.
May my joy be sheer.
Here today, New Year?s on,
I shall have joy from noon to dawn.
Now I look toward the future with great
expectations.
God will meet me at each destination.
I will greet each day differently now.
You may ask me how.
To that I reply, my realization gives me a
happy lift.
The realization that this new year is a gift.
I must get my thoughts back on track!
