A slice of sunrise

Pierces past the heavy hand of man

Ending the gloom of a long and dreary night

Offers the taste of glory wound in pink hued promise

Lures hopeful into the day

The halt and stumbling first step

Of what may yet become another dance

Just a glimpse you see and it calls you up

Up!

Out of your weary half slumbers

Shed the cobwebbed dreams of defeat and near failure

Take one step

Then another

Embrace the God given hope

In that slice of sunrise

Then go forth to conquer
