Realization

When morning comes And light shines on my face The dark dreams of night fade, I am put in my place – Put in my place to know What to do, to know who I am, and to face the day through. When hope nearly flees, And thoughts turn away, A beam of light breaks! The shadows stray. Day once so dark Fills with the light, The beam grows stronger Dispelling the night.
