A Beautiful Morning

A Beautiful Morning

There must be a beautiful morning somewhere
     A dawn lit by justice and judgment is fair
A place where a helping hand is held out
     An ear that will listen stands poised and devout

A place you can go when your heart needs attending
     A place where a spirit gets healing and mending
A place where love’s fire burns bright day and night
     And in from the cold you may warm by its light

There must be a brilliant evening somewhere
     Where the sun finally sets on pain and despair
Where the coming of night is not filled with grief
     And comforting sleep brings you joyful relief

A place where the sunset is apt to reflect
     A day without malice, without disrespect
A place where the only tears shed, are for joy
     And a heart is not battered and bounced like a toy

There must be a wonderful day somewhere
     In a place filled with love and a great need to care
A place where the burdens of conflict are lifted
     Where friendship is a skill and all people are gifted

Where daily are spoken the words that support
     And every mistake is not met with retort
A place where the land has not soaked up the freedom
     Where honor and truth are not swallowed by treason

A place where the children are not left alone
     Where sisters and brothers may come to atone
Where homeless and helpless don’t cower in fright
     Where the hearts and the minds of the world can unite

So you set on a journey to seek out this land
     With compass and map and a vision so grand
To find peace and comfort in a world that’s so new
     Where waters are crystal and skies are so blue

With showers that cleanse and winds that refresh
     Where the spirit is fed and not just the flesh
But search as you may, what you’ll find to be true
     That it cannot be found, until it’s found within you.
