Mark Koplin Poet Sonnet

A Better Tomorrow

We look to God at the dawn of each day
Trusting He'll help this world in time of plight
We seek for a means to end man's decay
With faith and hope, cast on us in God's light

Through prayer, brotherly love will be shared
Racial walls torn down; no lives will be lost
With more patience and love, we'll be prepared
For better tomorrows, without a cost

Prejudice and hate were not in God's plan
It's mankind's fault and the reason we fail
We're all His children, members of one clan
If we trust in the Lord, we will prevail

Let's start here today, ending our sorrow
Building for us a better tomorrow
