~ 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

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

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, 🙏
