Break of Dawn

It was so dark and cold
I felt alone in the dark of night
It seemed as if the pitch black 
Would never go away
That the sun would never come
That no one would be the light
To outshine the darkness

But then you came
Your beams of light shown 
And away the dark was blown
You filled the sky with light
And caused the roosters
To crow with joy
You filled my heart with happiness
And my eyes were filled
With tears of joy
You were the rising sun
The darkness and pain was gone
And only the joy will remain
You were my break of dawn
