A New Beginning
Artist: Agnes Kokot
As humans we’re flawed and creatures of habit
We need and we crave divine inspiration
A chance for renewal we often will grab it
Yet soon it’s abandoned with honest frustration
Why do we cling to the tired old ritual
Hell bent are we for yearly redemption
We always fall back on what is habitual
And sooner than not we seek out an exemption
You know what you want deep down in your soul
You face almost daily both virtue and malice
Don’t always expect that you will feel whole
Strive for a sense of well-being and balance
Change like the tides is relentless and pure
It comes for you whether you like it or not
The only thing I can say that is for sure
This is your life and this one’s all you’ve got
I hope you will live it as best as you can
Be not afraid to both fail and succeed
Expect that the best of a careful-made plan
Will often get tangled and mangled in weeds
For that is what makes us and breaks us in tandem
We love and we hate with too easy a mind
Alter this pattern let’s make it less random
Live less in anger choose more to be kind
I end and begin on a note of contentment
I wish you fulfillment in what you search for
To let go of notions that lean to resentment
And journey with passion to what lies in store
