When It's time for a New Beginning

by Douglas Pagels

You need faith. That things will be better.
You need strength.
And you'll find it within
You need patience and persistence
You need hope and you need
to keep it close to the center of
everything that means the most to you.

You need to put things in perspective.
So much of your life lies ahead!
You need to know how good it can be.
You need to take the best of
what you've learned from the old,
and bring it to the beautiful days
of a new journey.

Life's new beginnings happen for
very special reasons. When it's time
to move on, remember that it really
is okay. Because when a new beginning
unfolds in the story of your life,
you go such a long way toward making
the dreams of your tomorrows come true.
