Dawn

Ray of light
Makes its way
Everything s shining
Like the golden hay.

Green leaves gleam
Like a shiny droplet
Chirping of birds
Resounds as sounds of trinkets.

The bright gay sun
comes out of hiding
Its a bright  new day
Joys come gliding.

Night was long
But now its gone
Innumerable promises and hopes
Its a sign of dawn.

Break all shackles
Its time to be free
Forget all worries
Its time to be glee.

Bid adieu and wave goodbye
To all weakness, ill will and greed
Dawn beckons with new challenges
Get ready, its time to succeed.
