Seasons Of Life
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2020Life brings many seasons
Change happens for a reason
So as one ending occurs
Look forward, open the doors.
A new beginning a time to do
All of the things you want to.
A time to look at yourself
And put away any doubts.
Believe that you can succeed
You have the potential to exceed
So take a deep breath and go
Don't be discouraged if it's slow.
A season ends and a new one begins
Don't lose your smile or your grin
With a positive attitude with you
You will find success in all you do.
You Can
Poet: Catherine PulsiferYou can start afresh
anytime in life
You can stop and
end some of the life strife.
You see it is all up to you and
what you want to do.
You don't have to be unhappy,
nor feel blue.
It may not be easy,
but with a goal in sight
It will give you hope
like a shining light.
You may have to overcome
some hurdles, but that is okay.
And as you move towards your goal
you may find potholes in the roadway.
But with a plan and
a determined attitude
You can achieve a new beginning
if you want to!
Opportunity To Restart
Poet: Catherine PulsiferAs one door closes on our past,
We know, forever, nothing lasts.
Our future holds new wondrous sights;
New goals to set to reach new heights.
Though it may not feel familiar at the start,
New beginnings give us an opportunity to restart.
Quotes About New Beginnings
A Fresh Beginning
Poet: Catherine PulsiferA fresh beginning, a new start,
I'm happy yesterday is no longer a part.
Exciting paths lay ahead of me.
With some uncertainties.
No clouds in my sky so blue.
My heart is filled with joy that's true.
My life is an open chapter to write
I see it as happy and bright!

Hope for Our New Beginning
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2019We are excited about tomorrow
We will move forward without sorrow.
Our hopes and dreams we will see
Will be realized by us being all we can be.
What we have learned we shall give
We will do our best as we live

With hopes and dreams of a new tomorrow.
A Brighter Tomorrow
Poet: Catherine PulsiferA new day dawns with endless grace,
A chance to rise, a brighter place.
The past is gone, today’s brand new,
Embrace the future, let it through.
Hope takes root and starts to grow,
With every step, your strength will show.
The sun will shine, the storm will end,
A brighter tomorrow is just around the bend.
The Path Unseen
Poet: Catherine PulsiferAhead of you, the path is wide,
With hope as guide, you’ll find your stride.
Though storms may come, they’ll soon depart,
Like fleeting shadows, lost in the dark.
Take each step with courage, true,
The night will fade, the sky turns blue.
Believe in you, the future’s near,
The path ahead is crystal clear.
Optimistic Poems
Your Mission
Poet: G. M. GrannisIf you cannot on the ocean
Sail among the swiftest fleet,
Rocking on the highest billows,
Laughing at the storms you meet;
You can stand among the sailors
Anchored yet within the bay;
You can lend a hand to help them
As they launch their boat away.
If you are too weak to journey
Up the mountain steep and high,
You can stand within the valley
While the multitudes go by;
You can chant in happy measure
As they slowly pass along;
Though they may forget the singer
They will not forget the song.
If you have not gold and silver
Ever ready to command;
If you cannot toward the needy,
Reach an ever-open hand;
You can visit the afflicted,
O'er the erring you can weep;
You can be a true disciple
Sitting at the Saviour's feet.
If you cannot in the harvest
Garner up the richest sheaves,
Many a grain both ripe and golden
Will the careless reapers leave;
Go and glean among the briers
Growing rank against the wall,
For it may be that their shadow
Hides the heaviest wheat of all.
Do not, then, stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do;
Fortune is a lazy goddess--
She will never come to you.
Go and toil in any vineyard,
Do not fear to do or dare;
If you want a field of labor
You can find it anywhere.

A New Year, A New Beginning
Poet: Catherine PulsiferA new year, a new beginning,
wipe the slate clean
Keep your attitude positive,

With God's help and your determination,

So as this new year begins, think about your life
and your dreams, too
Say a prayer, set your goals,
begin and take action and just do!

Face each challenge, with its charms.

A brand new year, with possibilities new.

New Beginnings as You Retire
Poet: Catherine PulsiferAs you retire think it as a new beginning for you
To see the things you want and do the things you do
Retirement is a golden time, for you to realize

A time for rest, a time to win.

A future full of possibility.
With gratitude, we look behind,
For the lessons learned, the ties we find.

New adventures waiting on the other side.

With time to nurture dreams at heart.

Retirement’s a journey, a new embrace.

The World That Awaits
Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2011The sun is shining,
On this amazing day,
Of new beginnings,
And farewells to say.
Our new road is paved,
With a new path in sight.
It's time to take it,
It feels quite right.
We will say farewell,
To all we've known.
The knowledge we will take with us
And no longer be attending class.
It's time to explore,
The world that awaits.
Allow yourself to
Embrace your fate.
Tomorrow Holds A New Beginning
Author UnknownTime flies. Whether we like it or not, these past years of school
have caused us to grow up and become young adults,
ready to go out into the world.
We are all starting from the same place,
but we are all going in different directions.
We strive to obtain the goals we set for ourselves by
using what we've learned from the past.
Change happens, the excitement of our senior year is replaced
with cherished moments and memories of the past.
Different goals have been set after accomplishing previous ones.
Looking back in ten, twenty, thirty years, there will be even more change we see in ourselves than we do now.
Living in the present allows us to appreciate the past.
Change allows us to see the progression of ourselves as
a generation of individuals: then and now.
The Last Day
Poet: UnknownTo cherished hands of memory
We now must farewell speak,
But ’tis with sad and aching heart
That other climes we seek.
O’er the schoolroom and o’er campus
Our wistful gaze is cast,
Our days at school are numbered now
We’ve come now to the last.
But a new beginning is upon us
And forward will we march
With knowledge and a purpose
We will leave our mark.
We will always remember our days
And the friendships that we made
But we welcome the challenge of moving on
And working at our trade.
