As often happens, a friend said something that stuck in my mind and turned into this. I hope it lifts your spirits.

We are meeting on the other side of midnight
Though the dawn’s still far away
We are looking for the future bright,
For naught can stop the day.

We are turning to our labors
This battle now is won
We are finding what God favors.
The work has just begun.

Though the storms still may threaten
Though there will be heavy blows
The future looks to heaven
What e’re we think we know.

Heavy chains fall from hearts so burdened
And bright hope lights their way
Though few things yet are certain
The morning comes to stay.

Do not fear the morning
The light will be our guide
And the future now aborning?
We forge what it provides.
