“The Promise of Dawn”

Sometimes I feel like floating glass,

Slowly drifting away as Life flashes past.

What am I supposed to do as the

Current slowly carries me away?

Again, what do I have to hope for

when all my plans flee from my hands?

I had thought we knew what to do,

but my thoughts suggest otherwise…

I am struggling in vain to understand

what it is that You call Your plan.

Was this choice a mistake,

Or the one I wanted and want to make?

Should I continue to pursue

Or am I wasting my time?

Only later in life

Will I know whether this moment is okay

And if the decisions that I make

Are either good or a mistake.

Even if I wanted to run away,

My troubles would only be delayed.

I will lift my chin up once again

And keep my eyes steady before me.

The sun will rise and set,

And I will still be here as those

Who walked on this earth before me.

I will cling to the promise of hope

And the endurance to see the light

Of the new dawn.

This momentary darkness

Will become a blurry memory;

Keep living and fighting until

You make it to the glorious dawn.
