Lovely Light

No moonlight lit the lawn last night. 
Dark storm clouds hid the sky. 
I stood, bereft of all that's bright 
and wondered with a sigh, 

why light is such a giving thing, 
while darkness speaks of sorrow. 
When morning comes, the sparrows sing 
with joy enough to borrow.

But darkness serves to hide the deeds 
of men whose hearts are cruel, 
and brings a chill that will recede 
in daylight's warm renewal. 

So, if your night seems dark and long 
and hope feels far away, 
remember morning brings a song 
and light, a whole new day.
