Before the New Life reaching backwards towards the past - you must end one chapter before you can begin the next the butterfly must shed the caterpillar's skin before it can fly the sun must set before it can rise again the night must end before the day begins the fear must leave before potential can enter the seed must grow before the blooms appear you must leave the past behind before you can embrace the future & I, like the sunshine, must move on take a step forwards before the new life can begin New Life, New Day is a collection of 35 poems about celebrating life & the possibilities each new day holds.
