~ Starting Anew ~

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning but anyone can start today and make a new ending”. ~ Maria Robinson

"""-~**~-"""

One year ends ... a new one begins
Keep an open mind and true heart
Remove sad thoughts ~ reveal big grins
Now's the time to make a new start

Let go of hateful thoughts today
One year ends ... a new one begins
Live, love ~ be happy everyday
Let hate go and make amends


Think positive, not for chagrins
Clear your heart and respire anew
One year ends ... a new one begins
Have faith ~ for its all within you

Let this year be the best one yet
Start fresh, let go of past sins
Live your life with no regret
One year ends ... a new one begins

-"""-~**~-"""

Author's Note

I sincerely hope 2018 brings everyone much health, wealth and happiness.

Happy New Year to all my WC friends ... 🎉

Ah, HG,
What a lovely French Qautern!
There is nothing more inspiring than wiping the slate clean and starting all over … well, for most of us it's a lovely dream, but we all need our dreams, eh?
Nice rhymes, too, and a good flow. A few lines out of count, but are easy fixes.
For best presentation, consider centering and trying a nicer font … perhaps, with color and in italics.
Just sharing teacher thoughts. : )

I've very much enjoyed this one, Mary Jo … thank you for the new year treat! ⁓ Richard 😊


Don't you love how the site takes dashes and turns them into quotation marks(I?) … LOL!
Try using a series of hyphens, thusly:

Thank you so much for the visit & kind words in review of this inspiring piece. Though my words are positive ones they are totally opposite of the way the reality of life can sometimes be ~ “much easier said than done”.

I appreciate the suggestions you’ve given me but I do much of my posting/reading/commenting from my phone which limits the presentation options necessary to improve the visual of the posted piece ~ but I’ll make the suggested edits when I get back to my laptop.

Thanks again for sharing your valuable time to review and comment on this one my dear friend. 🌹

Blessings, 🙏

Your post goes back a few years, but, has travelled well. Holds thoughts and hopes for life much better, calmer, closer and warm.

Possibility can convert into probability, given strength and belief: ' .Let go of hateful thoughts today
One year ends ... a new one begins - Live, love ~ be happy everyday - Let hate go and make amends'

Gentle thoughts, fine copntent, grand poetry. Thank you so much for still inspiring.

This is a little too optimistic for me to swallow but I like the theme. To think of things in a positive light is very important however, I just have a difficult time.

I always love the idea of new beginnings! What a beautiful reminder that the past is the past and future is the future.

Hmm, this poem is relevant for any year. This was posted at the end of 2017 and here it is 2021. I'm pleased to have read this. tyfs

"One year ends ... a new one begins " I like how this line started off at the top then 2nd & 3rd lines of your stanzas (in my eyes it shows the writer's efforts and that the writer takes pride in her/his work as well as deliberate), adding more rhythm and melodic effects to your gorgeous poem. Very positive, fresh, smooth and enjoyable read. Well done!

This is a lovely poetic insight.
I really like its contents.
It revealed to me that old ugly things have to be let go.
We should forget our worries and move on with life for a better day.

[HadesRising]

So very emotional and well put together. Well done.

[Chris Shaw]

Although this is a New Year poem, it could equally apply to other times as well. Put the past behind, let the darkness slip away and start a new day with new intentions. I am reminded of that saying, "Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life". Enjoyable and well written work. Well done.
