New Beginning

New beginning

Goodbye yesterday

Hello today

There you are sunshine from the darkness

The world looks so different

My eyes have been opened

The colors are so bright

My rainbow is beaming from east to west

Oh, where have you been?

I felt so timid, lost and alone

That strong confident woman that I once was

Where did she go?

Life beat her down, she took it with every punch

Slowly the wounds healed

Moment by moment

Until the day she rose to her feet, bewildered to see how life could take her out

No more

She now stands proud, stronger from the fight

It may have knocked her down, but it did not defeat

It was simply a road trip of growth

Having brought with it appreciation and gratitude

A rainbow has never looked so brilliant

Thank you yesterday for showing me how to over come

And thank you today for the victory
