A new year begins;
a bud not fully blossomed
at the dawn of a new day.
Take it for what it is;
let it be a blessing.
Treat it well;
let all the rest go to hell
and move on with the living of it.
Focus on the beauty and love
in life and all things bright.
Free your heart;
even a fragile bird still flies,
dares to dream.
Be thankful;
you are alive, rejoice!
