A New Day And A New Way

A New Day And A New Way

I have come to this pit filled with bitter muse

Found all of my dark thoughts so eager to use

I have been here so often so why do I choose

To relive the past but only the parts that I lose

There has to be a different well maybe filled each Spring

Where I can go to find inspiration from a much better thing

I am tired of living in shadows

And peeking out of my windows

I have decided with the help of a friend that once I have begun

To throw the shades open never to close again and live in the Sun

Visiting that dark place is a thing of the past

I am living just for me and my future at last

We all need help from time to time in this land

So when someone reaches out take their hand

This journey so hard when traveled alone

But my friend is there on line or by phone

I will not go back to those shadows and sorrow

I will take each day and build a better tomorrow

That is my new way and how I greet each day

To never visit that pit and only have good to say

It takes no more effort to stay away from the gloom

You never even have to get up or ever leave your room

Just find a friend reaching out they are all around

Just take one hand and then become forever bound

Together in friendship in happiness and in bliss

That is what I have found and I know about this

You can get out of that pit on your own

But when you do you are still all alone

So reach for that friend the one that wants you

It really is such a simple thing for you to do

And yet your life will never again be the same

As the world lights up when you call that name

Alone in the dark and feeling so cold

Waiting for daylight was growing old

But now I have no fear of the darkness or the loneliness it seems

Because now I have my friend in my life my heart and my dreams

Love ya,

Sally
