Sunrise always brings hope...

The first rays appear,

sunrise is near.

The color is splendidly golden and bright,

there is no cloud anywhere in site

The air is balmy, the wonderful breeze is slight

everything is clear, the sun is rising in all its might.

It’s going to be a day of hope, a day of aspiration,

the magic bright sunrays bring us all elation

Yes, it’s going to be a beautiful crystal clear day.

Will it bring happiness or sorrow, one doesn’t know, one can not say…

It could bring endless love, it could bring peace, it could bring serenity.

Maybe friendship, trust, support, caring, it could bring amity.

It could bring a new job, new wealth, a valued gift or prosperity;

and it could bring good health, a long pleasant life; it could bring all of life’s beauty.

Yet it could also bring illness and death, the loss of loved ones,

it could bring a disillusioned love, unexpected economic woes.

It could bring a new war, quarrels, family troubles or plentiful sorrows

and it could bring sadness, a friendship that dwindles; it could bring all of life’s gloomy echoes.

Will it be happiness or sorrow, life’s beauty or life’s torments?

I don’t know, I don’t know what a sunny day of hope really portends…

All I know is in joyful days a sunny day of hope will bring us bliss and jubilation

yet in days of sad despair a sunny day of hope will give us the courage to move on

and it will give us the bravery, the hope to face life’s many troubles head on…

A day of sunshine and hope gives man his innermost iron will and determination
