A Sweet Reprise

Sunrise breaks a silent night Bursting forth in sweet reprise No more fears or demons dark Only hopes and dreams to please With each shadow cast away With each measure of the morn Serving what we need the most Chances for the best are born Sometimes on a lonely eve Thoughts will wander in the woods Paths are hidden by the leaves Eyes deceived by cloaks and hoods Yet, we know we must hold on Everything begins anew Faith emerges with the sun Better times are sure and true

Yes the night can take our minds and thoughts to some difficult places and when daylight breaks its a new day ,new beginning and “everything begins anew”! Love this poem Mike especially the third stanza! Debx

Sunrise breaks a silent night… Sometimes on a lonely eve Thoughts will wander in the woods…Yes, faith and hope emerge with the sun. We must get out of bed, start anew. We leave the catharsis of the night with its toss and turns, turn over a new leaf. God is so good that He gives us fresh new mornings with light and birdsong too. Cheers!
