New Beginnings

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 AmeriSouth Realty

Let's face it....things happen in our lives that we have no control over.  The only control we have is in the way that we react to what happens around us.  New Beginnings is a poem that I wrote in 1997 and am finding that I can only control how I react to circumstances.  My hope is that someone would get some good out of reading this.

New Beginnings

The wind blows across the land

to become the breath of your plan.

Go to the place where danger lurks

to find the answers for all your quirks.

The night lurks behind the day

Only to come out in a different way.

The day comes before the night

Only to stay until twilight.

Come here and letbutterfly - pensacola florida real estate me see

The dawn of a new me.

The "me" I used to know

Has vanished into the glistening snow.

The newness of me has opened wid

To guide me into the world I now abide!

Dianne...

How we all deal with things are choices that we make. I wish more people understood that.

We can only control what is meant for us to control.

Beautiful poem. I like the fact that you actually write these yourself :)

TLW...ROAR!

It is so true. The only things we can truly control are our own actions.

TLW:  Thanks for commenting.  I wrote these when these looked out of control, but soon realized that I can choose to be positive or negative about situations and I chose to be positive.

Arina:  You are quite welcome.  Yes, it is so very true.  Words on paper are easier to write than to go through what we have to go through at times.
