Turning over a new leaf, is like winter turning into spring.
Going from one extreame to the next, when life hands us lemons make lemonade.
there's always something to bring us back to begin a gain.
the loss of a loved one such as a husband both my sister and mom have lost their husbands in the last short while and they both have to begin again.
There is a young singer of gospel music he fell short of every-ones expectations, things he did wrong.but after sometime he fixed what was wrong and brought himself back on top . the prodigal son returns.he found his new beginning.
For me to begin again i need to have a kidney transplant.
i will be somewhat like new again and have a new lease on life with freedom to travel.
things will be new and different.
I can't wait for my new beginning.

Hi there, I really like the message that you have written in this poem. It's clear - especially with the first stanza, which is basically an interlude to the second stanza.
some oopsies and maybe grammatical issues that I have found:
Stanza one
Line two: exstreme -> extreme
Line two: ...lemons make lemonade -> lemons to make lemonade
Line three: Theres -> There's
Line four: huband -> husband
Line seven: prodical -> prodigal?
Stanza two
Line one: kidey -> kidney
Line two: freeedom -> freedom
Line four: begining -> beginning
English is not my maternal language, and that's why I tend to get these errors out actually. I hope I won't offend you by doing this
I wish you the very best in fact, and that it won't take too much time before you will get the chance to have a kidney transplantation
