Change brings with it possibilities, possibilities brings hope. Hope brings wishes. Never stop wishing and dreaming.

Every time that the sun decides to rise in the morning,
It brings with it the hope of a million wishes.
Of abundant, exciting, worthwhile new possibilities.
The change of pace that sometimes challenges.
Knowing that above all, whatever happens,
Today, I can always start tomorrow again anew.
Recognizing humbly, what I can do and cannot do.
The power lies only within me to make up,
My own damn mind.
Discover my peace, my true calling.
A path that certainly, is one that only I can find.
Each night as I lye my head on my pillow,
I find these days that my mind is so much more still.
I am no longer the carrier of a million burdens of my past,
It is so much easier to just lay them down at my feet.
Just lay them there, I have nothing left to conceal.
