The First Light

The first light of the new day was dawning
Creatures, large and small, of the forest
Awoke greeting the new day with a good morning
And giving thanks for a night of rest


The first light of the new day crossed the city
Skyscraper windows reflecting the morning light
Into the city’s streets and alleyways with no pity
Driving out the last remnants of the night


The first light of the new day entered our hearts
Encouraging us to welcome the new day
Telling us to hold onto our love, to always be smart
And never let the darkness of the night take our love away.
