A Toast To New Beginnings

The remnants

Of forgotten setbacks

Alias

Are now eliminated

From the consciousness of victims

Caught in the net

Of their own disappointments

A smile means

A lot more to someone

Who's overcome the monotony

Branded by daily trivial pursuits

Somehow have followed suit

To involve

Personal happiness virtues

Meant too exceed

Our own expectations and views

Of the modern day stresses

Mediating our world today

Which serve a beneficial purpose

For giving us

Second and third chances

Towards the advocacy of

A Toast To New Beginnings

This is a stream of conciousness piece if ever I saw one...you write so very lyrically, as though the ideas are just pouring from your head to the page without much intervention from the editing hand necessary. You are one of the lucky ones, my friend, to have this talent. I love your style :)

Dude, I think I smile in my sleep. (Not kidding)
You know.. "Find your happy place"

But, I have found if you look at someone and give them a real and genuine smile.. You will get at least a lip twitch in return from the grouchiest of people. They can't help themselves.

Good thoughts in this one. :)

Nicely penned...and yes everyone can use a smile once in a while...People seem to be looking down anymore as they walk texting and reading and not paying attention...they miss a lot of smiles:)Rose
