A Rainbow Of Hope

Then once again we'll be on our way
When dawn awakes to a bright new day.

The streets will come alive again.
Shops will open, buzzing again.
But the best moments will be when
Family and friends meet again.

Thank you brother John.

The road has been long, the load heavy to bare,
yet the rainbow is the promise that the world will repair.
We will find the joy that life brings in our new tomorrows
and what causes hearts to sing after yesterday's sorrows.
