Analysis of A New Beginning

Tonya Richardson 1968 (Mississippi)



Today I stand up and fight, I’m learning to see the world in a different light. I’m moving through time on my hands and knees,
because in life there are no guarantees.
My speed doesn’t matter as long as I continue to move forward,
In time all my hard work will be richly rewarded.
