This Perfect Day

Friday had been the saddest day That my young life had ever known The loneliness that my heart felt Just would not leave me alone The clouds that filled the afternoon With their darkness and their dread Left remorseful feelings alive inside Along with feelings that seemed so dead On Saturday when I did awaken My world was much worse it seemed For the gloom and darkness it embraced Left my mind aloof in sad daydreams Of what my eyes had seen to transpire On that dark, cold Friday afternoon I only prayed and hope what was written Would come to fruition so very soon As the last twenty four hours ticked away The hope in my heart did begin to rise For it began to beat so steady again Waiting for the prophesied moment to arrive But many in the room praying around me Saw their faith begin to slip and fade Not believing that what was happening Would be much more than just another day My heart awaiting the time to come closer Anticipating the joy it would soon receive Felt the rhythms of the approaching moment For deep within it never failed to believe I heard the most beautiful enchanting melodies Embracing me from deep within His tomb And upon hearing the hearty voices of angels I sensed He would be rising so very soon And the last twenty four hours did finally end Sweeping my sadness and loneliness away Replacing it with pure joy, and happiness For He rose from the grave on a perfect day.
