Starting Again

Don't ever be afraid to start again Because, now you know where you have been, You'll remember that old road that you had started And from it, where you had mistakenly parted. You'll still remember the stumps and the rocks And the worn spirits, and the torn socks, And the wrong paths that you had taken Now from the detour sign you won't be mistaken. This time you won't be starting alone from scratch Wrong thoughts or ideals now won't hatch, Now you won't stumble or get confused with weariness Because now, you will have help and experience.
