Sometimes we face

A new beginning 

One we have waited to begin

For just the right moment. 

**

A lifetime of preparation with 

All our experiences and tears.  

Even with a leap of faith

Comes with mixed emotions. 

**

Excitement to start. 

Fear of the unknown. 

Sadness for what is lost. 

Anticipation of what is to come. 

**

A great Unfolding 

Known before the start of time 

Yet, only the next step is 

Often the only one 

Seen.
