The glory of old legends <br />Lies buried in the past <br />The roadside remains unseen <br />Where dark shadows stay cast. <br /> <br />As the icy winds of fate <br />Howl sharp throughout the land <br />Memories are blown away <br />Like golden grains of sand. <br /> <br />But the farmer carefully <br />Sows seeds in the new dawn <br />For the light of tomorrow <br />Is where new hope is born.<br /><br />J.A McManus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/new-dawn-5/
