Hope looked down on me

I could not reach up to it

For I was short

So

I could not have real hope

So

I gave it my best

And found I could do even better

I grew with my efforts

And flew to the prize

That before

Was like a diamond in the sky

Now I can see it

I realize

That it was no such thing

The gem I found

Was inside of me.



Dawn breaks a rainbow of potential hopes

For as night enters into the scene

Some dances in the breeze

Hearts and moon and interesting glitter

Take you away

To far away places

And in the morning you see.
