Hope Is Reborn

In light of morn, hope is reborn 
out of the past crumbled and torn;
The evening paved for light of dawn 
to grace the new day with its spawn. 

Dark yesterday, tragic slay 
turned its back so hope could stay;
So the light of bright tomorrow 
would efface the trace of sorrow. 

Crumbling heart that remains hopeful 
can find a way to be fruitful;
Behind the shadow of tragic decay
comes gleaming amber of bright new day. 

Everyone wants to live forever. 
Glory is so sweet to remember;
But the greatest glory of all, 
is how you rise after a fall.
