So many view the year’s first day
Like it’s a
brand-new start,
A time to
take past problems
And to set
them all apart.
Yet other
first days differ –
At a job or
school or class
Or a move to
a new neighborhood
Where many
strangers pass.
You have to
find your balance
And make
sure that you belong,
Maybe
feeling that, no matter what,
Your actions
might be wrong.
If you’re
lucky, you will acclimate
And get into
the groove
As you understand
you’re fine
And needn’t
struggle to improve.
On the first
day of a year, though,
You are on
familiar ground
So to shake
things up within your world
This brand-new
time around…
You must dig
down deep and realize
You alone
are in control
And despite
your best intentions,
Life will
somehow take its toll.
Still, it’s
worth it to remember
A first day
gives you a shot
To reach out
to find contentment,
Using everything
you’ve got.
