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.
