New Dawn

Good morning,
Rise to a new dawn,
Of decency and hope,
And healthier choices,
For us to realize.

Open your eyes and smile,
At a future that became brighter overnight,
Opportunities that feel closer,
And the atmosphere that cleared up,
By so much.

Stretch your arms,
Up toward the ceiling,
That became easier to breach,
Through a collective effort,
Which is still being realized.

Open your front door,
The sight, the smells, are the same, yet different,
Yesterday we rejoiced,
And today we shall have,
A good day.
