Start Fresh
/“Start Fresh” is a poem inspired by the word fresh. It points out that we have an opportunity with each new day to change the way we live our life and see a different outlook. We often don’t take advantage of this moment. We dig in our heels and stay true to our stubborn ways.
————
When our eyes peer open
seeing the dawn of a new day,
do we honestly feel grateful
for this brand-new beginning?
Are we really excited
when we experience this breath of fresh air
with a chance to wipe the slate clean?
Why do we constantly
miss this opportunity
to accept change,
to bring forth new life
like each new season?
Why must we stand in stubborn pride,
digging our heels in,
when we could grasp this opportunity
to shake up our normal routines,
making this world a better place
for all?
