First light is not seen <br />By many these days <br />Either they're still asleep <br />Covers over thier head or <br /> <br />On the train or <br />In cars with all their lights on <br />Or already <br />In imporant meetings <br /> <br />Then there are buildings <br />In the way with other lights on <br />So it is hard to tell <br />When dawn first breaks <br /> <br />For those out walking or <br />Sitting on a bench overlooking the lake <br />It is a sight that restores <br />The wonder you had as a child <br /> <br />Makes you believe that you can help <br />Make it right in this world <br />For some it's only at this time <br />With dawn just coming up <br /> <br />Before it gets too bright <br />And the rest of the town <br />Is awake going <br />Their separate ways <br /> <br />In daylight there are winners and losers <br />People keep score <br />The light gets brighter <br />People more intense <br /> <br />And then it is dark again<br /><br />Tom J.
