This Phase Of My Life

Experiences of a new phase of life

Each phase of life brings something new,

New joys to share, and sorrows few.

But never till now did I feel

The biting sorrow so soon heal.

And now there remains no sharp sting,

That leaving home once did bring.



Here I feel I’ve suddenly grown,

With bright intellect, previously unknown.

And in every novel experience,

lies the quest for independence.

At each moment, as a stream

Sees the river, see I my dream.



I thank thee God, for this new day,

With flowers strewn on my way –

I mean my friends, with whom I share,

Each happy moment, without a care.

For life is easy when there is love,          

And you are blessed by the Power above.
