New Life

Sitting by her window in the dead of night,
She looked up and saw the stars shining bright.

As she pondered on the happenings of the past few days,
She realized that she had changed in so many ways.

She started to learn that -
Life moves on,
And you gotta move along.

When you smile through your darkest hour,
It gives you more power,
To get through each day,
Even if you have not much to say.

It is pointless to waste time,
On something although so sublime,
'Cause it does nothing but break you,
And fill your heart with more and more rue.

Sometimes, the hurt may be too much to bear,
When you feel that there is no one to care.

But, there are so many people to meet,
And so many faces to greet;

There's so much to do,
And so much to say

And so little time for us,
To make a fuss
About the way things are
Or ought to be.

She also learnt that it is best,
To steer clear of the tensions in life,
And put away that knife.

And when the world is raining on you,
Just remember to start over anew.

'Cause, nothing could lift your spirits up
Better than a brand new start!

As she continued to sit there,
She thought to herself -

Oh, if only I could get that smile to radiate to the hearts of those around,
It would be such a joy to rise up to a brand new world,

So colourful, so bright,
That even as the birds chirp,
They rejoice the new beginning of a new life. :)
