Serendipity

You’re the light in the tunnel, the sweet in the sour,
the leaf on the clover, the happy in hour,
the luck of the draw, the loves-me in daisies, 
the blessing disguised, the dawn of new days.

You’re the wish on a star, the music to ears,
the shout from the roof tops, the here’s-to-ya cheers,
the ovation from crowds; the hip in hooray;
the song in my heart; the dance in the rain.

You’re the start of the engines; the pat on the back;
the message in bottles, the best for last;
the calm in the storm; the grand in finale;
the talk of the town; the cloud’s silver lining.

You’re the worth in the wait; the give in the take;
the leap in the faith; the twist in the fate;
the amazing in grace; the nothing to fear;
the heaven in help me and the answer to prayer.
