I sit in the darkness,
awaiting the sun,
its cold and so dreary,
I want to start fun.
A tiny light appears,
peaking out in the sky,
its behind the sprawling hills,
its so very high.
Its too early yet,
the day’s not begun,
I stare at the stars,
until their sparkle is done.
Streaks of orange,
of pink, of red,
the sun is rising,
its time to move ahead.
Let yesterday pass,
begin a new day,
try something better,
start a new way.
Its a light in the darkness,
a candle of hope,
I’m no longer lost,
in pitch black to grope.
I can start a new path,
of happiness, to rejoice,
or I can stay in my old ways,
its now all my choice.
Its still the morning,
here’s my chance,
a new day, a new light,
a time to advance.
Hashem please help me,
let me climb high,
allow me success,
stay with me, stand by.
