SHALL THEE RISE?

Sun, shall thee rise?

Beautiful pastels left in your wake.

Bring with you the blue.

Unattainable heavens now before us

as you brighten our days

and warm our hearts.

And as you bring Earth back to life again,

please come to me

and wake me from the dead.

Your light of life will renew me

and fill my day with promise

here in the dawn.

And my eyes will behold the glorious beauty,

and the birds will sing in celebration

for the new found hope

fresh like the morning dew.

Sun, shall thee rise?
