A New Dawn

There are times in all our lives of significant change, where one part of our life ends and a new part begins. This is about my current experience.

A New Dawn

I sit here at the end of a day, stopping to reflect,
The day began with dreams, untainted by experience,
There was adventure to be had, waiting to be grasped,
Each moment was precious full of possibilities,

But now here I sit at the end, and the beginning,
With sadness for all that might have been,
With joy in some of the things that were,
Lost in thought, about the part I played,

A new day is about to dawn,
Unknown as to what it will hold,
What of yesterday will I take with me?
What will stay behind in the past?
No answers, only questions,

I travel into the new changed by the past,
Expectant as to what the new day will bring,
Time to let go of yesterday,
And embrace tomorrow.
