Change Waits

A ring of beauty

Surrounds the tapestry of yesterday.

As we remember the victories

We embrace the arrival of today.

There’s a feeling in the air

It overwhelms doubt and fear.

It’s a feeling that we can go on,

That change waits for us

We only need to push forward

And take the horrors off our minds,

Save our strength to take that step across the line.
