A NEW DAY

Like pages of a diary, etched in memory

Are the lessons of my life story

None too small, none too bright

All in all they led me to a new light

A child to a girl to a lady to a woman

I transformed to a love into which my spirit was interwoven

Along came friends

Some for a reason, some for a season

With each passing one, I only strengthened

Lest I succumb to treason

Stepped forward a kinship, to help me unfold the secrets of life

In his friendship, I found a strength that ebbed away a pain cutting through me like a knife

Words of wisdom he passed on

Life is short, not long, so move on

You have your strength, find now your courage

Deter not from hurdles for I will be here to assuage

Standing on the threshold, getting ready to depart

My best friend gave me the key to my locked heart

I fold into it my pictures of yesterday

I travel across the sea in pursuit of a new way

Like a caterpillar to a butterfly

I unravel with a happiness that is ready to multiply

From beauty to passion, in a land of the unforgettable

From strangers to friends, blossoms a relationship that was inevitable

Amidst them, vanish my fears of the past few days

And I rise and smile, for its a BRAND NEW DAY

LA VITA BELLA  – A Beautiful Life !!!
