The Light of a New Sunrise

I wish to inspire a generation

to fill the world with love

There is a certain kind of brightness

that exists in everyone

Do not hold back the radiance

Let it out for all to see

Encourage others to do good things

and achieve their hopes and dreams

Give it dedication,

endeavour and persevere

to accomplish your goals with confidence

Why not take a steer

From an old war horse

with no where left to roam

He’s seen most things, been everywhere

Yet with still so much to learn

If ever opportunity knocks

grasp it with both hands, why not?

The chance is rarely there for long

and the moment may soon be gone

Plan and undertake

what you need to do today

Work on your aspirations

- don’t rely on chance or fate

And you may just be surprised

when you open up your eyes

In the early morning

to the light of a new sunrise

A brand new day beckons

promising a little more

than all those ‘grey starts’ to date

Go and open up your door

Weaving of the Loom

There was no-one quite like you

Unique in so many ways

Numerous qualities and virtues

that can be so hard to find these days

You were a guiding light

Giving hope in the night

Love in the day

making everything alright

Leading by example

taking on responsibility

Doing what you could

to help anyone in need

Generous to a fault

giving what you got

- appreciative and loving

You would never know when to stop

Celebrate the goodness

Delight in the Kind

- those many cherished moments

as we gaze down the line

Looking back on your wonderful life

Now is the time

to think and rejoice our good
