                New Year 2024

                Posted on January 1, 2024 by Donna Davenport

                 

                A Journey To A New Year

                First day of the New Year.
                It’s time to shine for a new day.
                Forget your past,
                Your sorrow, your pain.
                New ideas are waiting ahead.
                It’s time to recall all your memories,
                Beautiful dreams that remain uncovered,
                Painful parts of life when your heart gets crushed.
                But don’t be afraid.
                The future is in your hand.
                Hold it in your hand.
                Start your race,
                A new journey,
                That leads you to success.
                You will rise again
                You will shine again.
                Happy New Year!
