Starting Over


i want to start over today
and

i wanted to start over yesterday
and

i will want to start over
again
tomorrow

that's the glory of it.
the grace.
the gift.

today I will celebrate starting over
not be mad at myself for the need to start over
but rejoice with the new day
rejoice with the new moment

tomorrow i will not be over starting over
   may i never tire of it
may i never take for granted the power
or the promise of the new start

each new day
each new start

  1. Thank God for the gift of grace and for being allowed to start over, no matter how many times it takes.

    Beautiful poem!

  2. What a great way to look at it. We really do have a chance to start over every day, and we should definitely look at it as a gift to be taken advantage of (rather than knock ourselves down for it).
