That Brightest Of Mornings

Turn not your heart 
from the suffering around you
Close not your eyes
to the pain that you see

Reach out to others
in love and compassion 
and you shall become
all that you're meant to be

A vessel of blessing
the Almighty can work through
A conduit of hope
for the hopeless to seek

A flash of warm light 
through the blackness abounding
that touches the lost 
the lonely, the weak

Though long be the night 
the dawn fast approaches 
and with it the end
of tyranny's reign

So glorious shall be
that brightest of mornings
the darkness can nevermore
visit again
