*~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 -

It Does Not Take A Year

To Make A Brand-New Start,

It Only Takes The Deep Desire

To Try With A Our Heart

To Live A Little Better

And To Always Be Forgiven

And To Add

A Little "Sunshine"

Into 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.
