A New Day

Dusk falls...and I close my eyes
to wake to a brighter new tomorrow.
Gone are...the labors of life,
the futility of strife and the
lingering trauma of sorrow.
Dawn breaks...and I clearly see
a new day of heavenly creation
fresh with new hope, renewed faith
and good cheer, and the promise of
eternal salvation.

--Delores Karides

i received this poem in a Christmas card.
i hope that it means something great,
instead of empty promises.
i hope i can live up to it.
i hope dawn will break.
