All things end
   and assure new beginnings.
   It’s simply a matter of time.
The sun sets
   with tomorrow it’s promise.
   with more time to explore.
Yesterday’s journey
   gave birth to this day
   and to this moment
For you to live, to discover,
   to love and to be loved.

A start, a finish,
   a circle of infinite possibilities.
   each a gift just take them in.
With it, a sunrise brings
   new strength, new hope
It brings new opportunities,
   and assurance the day will end
   to make room for the next.

As we wander,
   stay mindful of what really counts:
   The new ending,  
   The new beginning,
Or what we make
   of the time in-between.
Time In-between
