A New Beginning

by: Ericka

I lived day by day,
Telling myself things will get better.

My life I tried to end,
'cause life to me seemed hopeless.

A new beginning you gave me,
A second chance at life.

Dead ends kept following me,
No matter how hard I tried.

Every time I tried to die
That unborn picture came to mind.

Seeing you suck your tiny thumb,
Seeing you yawn in my sister's womb,
Made me realize I need to live.

I cried in fear, "What should I do?"
That picture came to mind,
That picture of you.

A new beginning you gave to me,
Now you are here.

You let me taste the life,
The life I tried so hard to end.

Now I share my breath with you,
And hold dear to the memories we've shared,
And will continue sharing in the times ahead.

I thank you now for giving me
A new beginning - a better life.

 As i read this poem i realize that life could be easier if we always think positive. Everyday has its new beginning. Everyday we strive to make our own destiny. 

 


 "I lived day by day,
Telling myself things will get better."

--this stanza makes me realize that you could do perfect things if you could tell to yourself that you can do it. If you start your day or live your day believing that everything will be alright and things will be better then the rest of your day would be OK!.

 

"My life I tried to end,
'cause life to me seemed hopeless."


--sometimes we think we are alone and we see life seemed hopeless and we are down. as we facing the challenges of our life we should put in mind that every challenge and problem that we are facing has its way for us to solve. We should always remember that we have God to run through. Because we know that he will not give that problem if he know that we could not solve it.
