To Life

by Joanne Bessom

A Dream is shining so clear now
Another day has been born
And a heart has a song to sing

On the road of experience
I begin to see another part of life
Opening up a space for me
To be whatever I want to be

As people will come and go in my life like the seasons
Some will stay and grow, some will touch and go
But to everything there is a reason

I will grow from each new experience I have
Taking only the good from them and leaving behind the bad
This is a time to begin again to see what I can find out
A Day to realize this life is mine knowing
there is so much left to go through with many ins and outs..

So on and on I'll go
In the end I will have known!
