New Beginnings (a New Year's Poem)

New Beginnings (a New Year's Poem)

written by Cheryl Williams

New beginnings

bid a bittersweet goodbye

to the past.

Hope is often the product

of a ravaged heart.

The pathway to joy

is often paved with tears.

The New Year comes

filled with promises

of a better life

filled with wiser decisions

and prosperity.

Were it not for the sufferings

of the past,

we would not appreciate

what the New Year holds.

Embrace each day,

and remember the path

that brought you to where you are.
