A New Day
A light shines through a world of darkness
It creeps over the hills that guard a valley
And peeks through the trees that hide it
Heralding a new day
The sun breathes life into that valley
Awakening old and new
They trudge through dew-soaked grass
to gather and welcome the new day
The smiles never leave their faces
For they feel the love of one another
The love they bring with the new day
And the love the new day brings to them
It never vanishes from the valley
Not until long after the sun leaves the sky
Not until the heat of fire has faded
Not until those lives bid the day farewell
As the final echoes of life die down
They disperse back to their shelters
And allow darkness to set in
As they all begin a dream of a new day
