Dawn breaks the Dark, Earth
wafts in space
We rise and shine but
by God’s grace
Time trickles through
man’s needy
Clutch, while we
exhaust its
Taste and touch with
Have and hold
And dreams
And such
We
Groan
Beneath
Love’s letting
Go while moments
Wear our want and woe
And hours bear our
sweat and
Tears and all the
while days turn to
Years where dawn
breaks dark, earth wafts
in space, we live and love but by God’s grace
