New Beginnings

The beginning of a dream
We all wish will come true
The beginning of a nightmare
That everybody has to go through.

The beginning of your smiles
That can be seen for many miles
The beginning of your tears
From your eyes, they flow for years.

The beginning of something beautiful
Happiness, joy, love, affection
The beginning of something terrible
Hurt, pain, loneliness, rejection.

The beginning of the start
Strong feelings in your heart
The beginning of the end
Will your love ever mend?

New beginnings can sometimes be great
A happy new life, filled with belief
But new beginnings can sometimes be bad
Filled with emotions of heartbreak and grief.
