New Beginnings

New Beginnings

 

The very roots of my inner being tingle with anticipation

as we make our preparations for the New Year celebration

I possess a renewed sense of profound optimism

as I discard the forlorn cares of past pessimism

My mind is overwhelmed with new and inspired ideas

which look forward to new and fertile fields

I shall cast away the clouds of despair and depression

as I embark on a new and brave fuelled mission

With good health and God's inestimable grace

I shall win the crown that awaits me in this race

I fear nothing as I gather my personal armour together

to embrace the New Year's invitation to endeavour

◄ A Glimmer of Hope

Sweet Ambition ►

Enjoyed this Keith, very optimistic. I do hope we're all filled with 'new and inspired ideas' in 2022. Very well said.

Indeed the bravest fight is with our own fears and despairs. Thank you for the dose of optimism. Happy new year.
