today is the first day
of the rest of my life
a brand new beginning
and no longer his wife
I will not wilt and wither
nor weep, wondering why
I won't permit myself possibility
of wasting one last goodbye cry
it's seems like almost a lifetime
since I've spread wings and flown
it will be hard, yet so fulfilling
learning to fly again on my own
soon life will begin brilliantly bursting
right out of it's every seam
then gladly give birth and beauty
to a world filled with brand new dreams
because hope has healed all the hurts
from the hell he has hurled me through
and is now channeling all of her resources
into making those new dreams come true
it's a new day and I say, I am ready
out in the horizon, I can see the dawn
it's busily building a brighter tomorrow
and it is beckoning for me to come on...
