The best of better days.

Picture Source

(Persistence)

Shall not the shadows in your eyes
Form droplets of patience
Blankets of better times

(Success)

Shall not the seas of victor
Create the best of better days
For are we not children of God
And He, our North Star in every way

- (Or shall we drift aimlessly
Forlorn vessels dashed against
A sea of torrential rains) -

(Hope)

Shall we not rise together as one
To face another tomorrow
With sturdy chins and mindsets
Toward the brightest sun

(Trust)

Shall not the vision in our hearts
Blaze the hottest flame of passion
‘Til the walls of our vulnerabilities
Finally, meaningfully come undone
