A Green Beginning

A green beginning holds my hand.
It dances like the leaves.
It dances on the ocean sand.
My heart, I feel, believes.

Believes there is a greater joy.
A colour, a light.
A hope that no dismay could destroy.
A love shining bright.

A new beginning, a new day.
A new freedom dancing in my heart.
A pure bliss here to stay.
A glowing dream that will never part.

This green beginning believes in me.
This green beginning has set me free.
