Celebrate

Celebrate a new life
each and every day
put the past behind you
clear your mind, make way.
There are lessons to learn
memories to hold
the future waits
beckoning so bold.
To stand in one place
not dealing with fear
life goes stale
nothing to cheer.
Start each day
open heart, open mind.
Make life a challenge
not just a grind.
