Dawn
on our knees
Before
the sun comes out to play
Let those of us
find the humility to try
To ascend
to where our Creator resides
upon our knees
Let us pray,
Dear God
Excise the demons in us
that we may
Experience
Just one day
Lend us just enough
fortitude;
To cry out for those
without bread to eat,
a place to sleep,
loved ones
who must face death,
unbearable challenges,
insurmountable odds,
torturous trials ahead
or look into
the eyes of death
With sufficient Faith
to pass the test
That we may increase our hold
Between us;
Those who remember
And those who shake with fear,
afraid
Keep the more foolish of us
Out of the way
of those among us
Who on this day
must endure,
a flood of tears,
an avalanche of sorrow,
Pay a great sacrifice …
for our survival
pave the way for
a greater…
tomorrow
