Miracle of life

The darkness engulfs the night sky,
A gloomy world is left behind.

The lost wander without direction,
The helpless stray without protection.

But all is not lost, look above!
A twinkle of happiness and of love.

A bright light breaks through the shadows,
A ray of hope destroys all sorrows.

The majestic Sun escalates,
The ominous darkness dissipates.

The brilliant radiance lights up the morning sky,
A cheerful world shall now arise.

A brand new start, a new beginning,
An everyday miracle to continue living.
