A NEW WORLD BEGINS'


 Tomorrow I leave today behind, this year vanishes,


 Gone Into memories, put away like antiques on a 
 Shelf.

 What's ahead of me only God In heaven can know,


 Much lies ahead of me In this land of Imagined 
 Dreams.

 Left behind Is yesterday, many things' to cry about,
 To say goodbye,

 Today a new world begins' as If to be born a baby 
 Next to mother.

 I'll see things' that were not known to me, days' 
 Since past,

 More that will be understood by a man with a heart 
 That heals.

 Lessons' learned but not without teaching have 
 They been.

 This world goes around and around, so what 
 Have I found,

 Fore a door that's been opened, mysteriously 
 The wind blows shut,

 A window lifted, opened to a place of freedom 
 For which is me,

                                                                                 Keith Garrett
