The Time

There comes a time when fruits get ripe, 
When heaven clears from checkers and stripes; 
When night gives way for the break of dawn 
And light of the morning comes to spawn.

When sun blazes a ray of gold,
The hands, long empty, find a heart to hold;
When long wait comes to a glorious end,
The tears will fall for the wounds to mend.

And now the day has come after all, 
When heaven calls for the grace to fall;
For, great toil blossomed into golden petals,
So, comes the time for trophies and medals.
