New Beginnings
by Gertrude McClain
It's only the beginning now,
A pathway yet unknown.
At times the sound of other steps,
Sometimes we walk alone.
The best beginnings of our lives
May sometimes end in sorrow.
But even on our darkest days
The sun will shine tomorrow.
So we must do our very best
Whatever life may bring,
And look beyond the winter chill
to see the breath of spring.
Into each life will come
A time to start anew,
A beginning for each heart
As fresh as morning dew.
The years will never take away
Our chance to start anew,
It's only the beginning now
So dreams can still come true.
