The Search Begins Poem by CHARMAINE SIMPSON

Endings bring inevitable new beginnings
As the year draws to its close,
The last sun rise will greet the morning sky
And begin to spread its light and warmth.
This day a day of celebration that concludes another era
Giving closure to another year lived and learned.

Now faced with a new start – I have set myself a new challenge
I believe if I am to move forward, to grow as an individual and
Continue what is my destiny, and then I need to search deep
To find my heart and soul that I lost some place, somewhere
A very longtime ago when my reality became A living nightmare...

I long to be able to feel true peace and happiness
To learn to once again trust with the ability to love completely-
To smile – and to Share my life with those few I love dearly.
I am ready to begin my search-to face the challenge.
