Innocent Beginning
By Courtney Perry
Bellows Falls Union High School, Grade 9
“For every new beginning,
There must be an end,
This is inevitable
Though I do not know exactly when,
I do know that it will happen someday, somehow
This beginning will end
I just don’t yet know how.”
You believe so completely
In the words that you say,
I’ve never seen anyone
Speak quite that way,
There’s no room for doubt
You have thought this all through,
You’re so confident that you’re right
That no one can disagree with you.
But maybe there’s more
Than one answer this time,
An alternate response,
A happier rhyme,
This adage may be cliché
But it’s why I’m still grinning:
“For every single ending,
There’s an innocent beginning.”
