New Beginning

Today's a new day 
With a promise of its own
No longer will I look back
To days that have passed on

This is a new beginning
A chance to do things right
A day to show compassion
To others in their plight 

Reconciliation 
With friendships that went wrong
By words not chosen wisely
Hoping now to carry on 

Yes today is a new day
And lessons I have learned
Have taught me to consider
Friends trust must be earned 

So I'll value new beginnings
And cherish them as gold
With each new friendship made
In my heart I'll always hold
   
A promise to consider
Other's hopes, fears and dreams
To encourage, cheer and pray for them
To hold in high esteem
