The Light of a New Day

I wait for you each day
Like the day waits upon the sun
And in my anticipation
I know not what the light brings

Perhaps a storm in all its rage
Whose torrential rain
Pushes my resolve to its limits
Humbling and strengthening me

Or perhaps an overcast day
Which brings neither glowing light
Nor a dismal refusal
But again says wait upon the sun

Or perhaps, just maybe
Today is my day of radiance
The day I have hoped for
Prayed for in earnest

When that first gleaming ray
Breaks the horizon
To shower me with its brilliance
Illuminating me with its hope

Then as the sun reveals itself
I am enveloped in its warmth
I stand in awe of its magnificience
Cherishing the moment knowing

Tomorrow, again, the storm may come
