THE DAY AWAKES

THE DAY AWAKES

THE DAY ARISES FROM A LONG NIGHT'S SLEEP

AND SEEMS LAZY, INDIFFERENT AND COLD.

I WONDER HOW IT KNOWS TO CREEP

EVER SILENTLY, YET EVER SO BOLD.

PERHAPS SOON IT SHALL TELL ME WHAT IT BRINGS

FOR MY BETTERMENT, OR MAYBE NOT,

YET IT IS HERE, AND THE SUNSHINE REFLECTS

UPON THE EMOTIONS WITHIN MY HEART.

THE REFLECTIONS THAT I SEE ARE OF YOU , YOU SEE,

AND I AM SO UNDULY AND TRULY SURPRISED,

FOR YOU LEFT ME ALONE SO VERY LONG AGO

AND IT HURT, YET YOU ARE THE ONE WHO WAS WISE.

THE SUNSHINE GIVES WAY TO THE CLOUDS TODAY,

FOR IN EACH LIFE SOME RAIN MUST FALL.

BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU WERE GOOD FOR ME,

YOU TAUGHT ME NEVER, EVER TO FALL

FOR ANOTHER "LINE" FROM A MAN WITH A SIGN

OF COLDNESS CARRIED WITHIN HIS SOUL..

THE COLDNESS, YOU SEE, HAS TAUGHT TO ME

TRUE LOVE IS WORTH MUCH MORE THAN GOLD.

THE DAY AWAKES FROM HIS LONG NIGHT'S SLEEP,

HE HAS SLUMBERED FOR EVER SO LONG.

HE YAWNS AND STRETCHES, AND BEGINS TO CREEP

INTO THE SUNLIGHT, AND LEAVES BEHIND THE DAWN.

THE CLOUDS ROLL IN AND IT DOES BEGIN

TO MIST, AND BRING COLD TO MY HEART.

YET TODAY IS TO BE MADE LOVELY WITHIN,

NOW TELL ME, WHERE DO I START?
