NEW BEGINNINGS

How often we wish for another chance to make a fresh beginning,

a chance to blot out our mistakes and change failure into winning -

and it does not take a new year to make a brand-new start,

it only takes the deep desire to try with all our heart

to live a little better and to always be forgiving

and to add a little “sunshine” to the world in which we’re living-

so never give up in despair and think that you are through,

For there’s always a tomorrow and a chance to start anew.

-Helen Steiner Rice.
