There was a time
When chirping birds sang
Good Morning into my ears
Amber and gold showered
From the Eastern horizon
A sweet redness heralded
The sunrise!
Another day awaited
To test man’s endeavor
Sweat dripped and mingled
Showers slushed; pools filled
Germination of hope!
There was a time
When hope conquered despair!
Where have all the sparrows gone?
