I look behind me, and reminiscing, I wave goodbye to 2011.
New life came into my world, some lives were also taken,
Bless their souls now shining from heaven…
Many days I felt as though I walked the beach, one set of footprints in the sand.
But I learned those were the times that I was carried,
When the trials and tribulations would not let me stand.
Even though I haven’t seen this friend, I still hear her voice ring true,
Reassuring, when she once told me… “the only way out is through.”
I gaze at photographs that I’ve printed into black and white,
These captured moments get me through, when you’re out of sight.
The burden of my broken family, or the loss of our good friend.
A new sunrise now promises a chance to start again…
I vow to lose the anger, the fear, the disappointment and the pain.
2012 is the year I become a godmother, and the year I change my name.
So my resolution for January 1st, and every day to follow…
Is to accept the things I cannot change, and not be overcome by sorrow.
Three hundred & sixty five days behind us, many new days pending ahead.
Never forget that every new beginning, comes from some other beginning’s end.
