Song of Hope

     Through leaded sky a ray of light,
     Shinning sword cuts away the dark,
     Touching my eyes it gives me sight,
     To heart a song of hope empart.

     The fear that binds me slips away
     Spark of hope, I dare to dream,
     Shards of glass at my feet lay,
     Mirror which kept my heart unseen.

     I blossom as a new born rose,
     Sunlight in the words you say
     Budding love within my heart grows
     Fresh and new as a dawning day.

	March 1993
