New Beginnings (a New Year's Poem)

Cheryl Williams
New beginnings
bid a bittersweet goodbye
to the past.
Hope is often the product
of a ravaged heart.
The pathway to joy
is often paved with tears.
The New Year comes
filled with promises
of a better life
filled with wiser decisions
and prosperity.
Were it not for the sufferings
of the past,
we would not appreciate
what the New Year holds.
Embrace each day,
and remember the path
that brought you to where you are.
