Resilience in Every Dawn

Each day a lesson, sun sets and sun will rise,  
Time we embrace, with courage to ascend,  
To be or do better, with clear, steady eyes.

Our will, our choice, our resolve that defies,  
Strength drawn from moments we seek to amend,  
Each day a lesson, sun sets and sun will rise.

We falter, we triumph, we dance under skies,  
Sin we may, yet through trials, we won’t bend,  
To be or do better, with clear, steady eyes.

Though hurdles appear and hopes may seem lies,  
We press on, through hardships that life may send,  
Each day a lesson, sun sets and sun will rise.

In tragedy’s shadow, compassion applies,  
Revealing true souls both pure and pretend,  
To be or do better, with clear, steady eyes.

Love remains free, wanting hearts’ subtle ties,  
A flame in the dark, on which we depend,  
Each day a lesson, sun sets and sun will rise,  
To be or do better, with clear, steady eyes.
