The Promise

Take a listen to the laughter of the stars As their twinkling brighten into daylight After a night of braving a dark veil It's the promise of a fresh start Listen to the sighs of the waking sun As it parts away the curtains of darkness Its' rays tenderly peeping from the horizons It's the promise of a beautiful day in the making Listen to the effortless whispers of the wind As it drives the chill away from dawn Swaying the trees gently to wake them up It's the promise of a joyous day ahead Listen to the melodious song of the birds As they sweetly call out for each other Musically singing to a new day It is the promise of hope Listen to the tapping of the ants As they ready to go out and eke Unanimously united for a noble course It is the promise of bounty Listen to the cry of the skies As the rain falls down steadily After sagging with pregnant clouds It is the promise of a cleansing Listen to the slapping of the waters As the river purposefully snakes it way Against the odds of rocks and debris It is the promise of a peaceful rest Listen to the breathing of the seedlings As they persistently stretch off the ground After a long season of hibernation It is the promise of a rebirth Listen to the chatter of the children As they innocently get to play Watching out for each other It is the promise of solidarity Listen to the rhythm of the heart As it pumps life through you Even with all the odds you face It is the promise of survival
