A New Dawn

A new dawn breaks,

over the rich and the poor,

in this land we wake to it's call.

Though many it seems,

think it's only for them,

this day has been given to all.

It should not matter,

the color or creed,

the gender or position in life.

For we all have the right,

to expect to be treated,

as our child, our husband or wife.

Yes the dawn brings to us,

a joyous new day,

one that offers a brand new chance.

The opportunity arrives,

for to start life anew,

whether at work, at home or romance.

It's not like this doesn't happen,

with each brand new day,

this really is not something new.

For life offers a new chance,

with each new dawn,

it's call is not just for me, it's for you.

So today, look around,

view the world with new eyes,

show respect, give each person their due.

You'll find your heart filled,

in a way you've not known,

while this dawn molds and reinvents you.
