TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN

TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN

What I learned in two thousand and seven

Is that every day is a new chance to start again

There is always a chance for a new beginning

Every time the morning birds are singing

And what I learned is that some things may come easy

While the others may come hard

And while some things can be fixed with a card

Others don’t repair that easy

Yet if you take each day with a fresh step

Make it a point to create that new start

Then each day you will be able to recollect

The pieces of your heart.

Each day you will walk each foot one further

While the rough edges become slowly smoother

And I have learned that if you look someone in the eye

No longer will you be withdrawn

No longer will you be shy

Yet seek each day for the new dawn

And as courage you find

Press, always, to be kind.

What I learned in two thousand and seven

Is that you need not strive to get even

Love as you wish to be loved

And pull near everyone

Give not to any, a shove

Love and forgive

Give yourself the chance to truly live

Hold not onto grudges

And give not any nudges

For what I have learned in two thousand and seven

Is that every day is a new chance to start again

There is always a chance for a new beginning

Every time the morning birds are singing
