Dawn Of A New Day 

When a new day dawns 

Opportunities arise and 

Opportunities fall 

Hopes and dreams rise with the morning air 

While some older ones dash themselves against the rocks 

While the morning breeze lifts others to new heights 

A new day dawns  

Where will this one take us 

Will we rise to meet it 

Or will we wallow in our bed hoping to weather another day 

Through ignorance 

Afraid of the dawn, afraid of the burgeoning day before us 

Waiting for the night when we can dream and sleep  

And pretend we’re someone else 

Pretend like we’re not the broken creature we’ve come to believe we are 

We believe we’re fragile and broken  

But we’re not, you’re not 

You may have been broken in the past, but you’ve healed in a myriad of ways 

Now youre building up the strength and courage to face that new day 

To fly your hopes and dreams into the sky 

Like a great big kite 

To step up out of bed and face the dawn of a new day 

With strength, courage, and resilience 

Knowing life couldn’t stop you before so why should today be any different 

Yes it shoved you back but it didn’t stop you 

Momentum isn’t always forward 

Sometimes you need to go 2 steps back to see a different way through 

Life shoved you back so get up and push back in from another angle  

Press on into the new day 

With the herculean strength and fortitude i know you to possess
