New Beginnings Poem by ANNE P LadeeAnne MURRAY

Ah, the elusiveness of time
As we painfully learn the difference
Between loving someone and claiming their soul
Love, should not be smothering
Being with just anyone...
is more lonely than being alone
Gifts are empty without the spirit of true giving
Life can be painful, but without pain......
Would we be able to recognize the beauty of love
The awesomeness of true sharing?

Always keep your integrity in your pocket
Take it out from time to time
To remind yourself of your true worth
Hold your head high, leave your sadness behind
Claim your own way, in your own life
Build on tomorrow, leave yesterday behind
Allow the cool breeze to lift your spirit
Let the sun warm your heart
Grant the Angels permission to kiss your forehead
For they have the power...
To bestow hope, peace, love and happiness
