Daybreak Begets...

I can hardly comprehend the haste of moments meting/melting months, but here we are, ready or not!!Happy, happy May! Before our eyes, beneath our feet, beyond Bygone’s snuffed tollsDaybreak begets a gleaming street teeming with living soulsDaybreak begets a fallow field, soon strewn with words and deedsDaybreak begets the sacred yield of yester’s scattered seedsDaybreak begets the fiery forge where earnest faith is triedDaybreak begets Mercy restored and hope still on our sideDaybreak begets the helping hand of He who never failsDaybreak begets the unveiled land as heaven’s darkness palesDaybreak begets refurbishments of strength and energyDaybreak begets the evidence of opportunityDaybreak begets another try from time’s replenished fountDaybreak begets our reply for which we give accountBefore we rush headlong into the fray that soon grows dimLet’s pray the Lord to lead the way, and we to follow HimBecause daybreak begets far more than naked eye can seeDaybreak begets the Corridor into eternity © Janet Martin Ps.23:3He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
