Love Poem: A New Day

A New Day

Thirty miles east of Montréal
Through the driving winds and northern scrawls 

Arose a glimmer of hope and talent
The youngest child of fourteen children she was gallant
 
Stardom and recognition climbed 
While we were all intoxicated by her songs and rhyme
 
Ruptured by her tender ballads and her songbird style 
“A new day” hit the music charts and I smiled 

And I fell into a state of bliss 
This song hit me because my divorce had exited 

I felt the rain come down and wash my tears 
I felt moved by the new love in my life God heard my prayers
 
“I can’t believe I ‘ve touched by an angel of love” 
God had given me a new chance at a real love
 
“Hush now I see a light in your eyes” 
And I did see the light and happiness in his blue eyes 

For a decade I’ve had a private love affair for her music
Celine Dion is iconic and an American classic 

Her classic pop reaches into the depths of me 
I’m in a state of rushing water, running free 

 


Celine Dion 
“A new day”! 
Inspired by the music to your pen contest!
