Brighter Days Are Coming (A Lyric) Poem by Peter S. Quinn

There are times
There are reasons
In our love
And all the seasons
To heal what we can
Give a touch
And to understand
Even as much
Brighter days are coming
From inside reality
Saw your seed to blooming
For tomorrow to be

There are people dying
Never had their chances
Little children crying
From starvation circumstances
Because we didn't care
Had no feeling of sorrow
Didn’t want to be there
To give them tomorrow

Make a living
For your brother
In your giving
To one and another
Care enough to be free
In your heart an place
Conquest love’s liberty
Way out to tomorrow
Give or take opportunity
From bygone’s sorrow
Brighter days are coming
From inside reality
Saw your seed to blooming
For tomorrows to be

In space
The blossom tries
Many ways
The light dies
All grace is there
In darkish mood
Through times adhere
And timeless intrude
In a heart
Where our beats are found
Something will start
To come around
In a steady bliss
In the tomorrow’s flow
Where all of this
Shall come and go
We two
Apart and close
To renew
Like the petals of a rose
Within everything
That’s inside and alive
Together to bring
What may from it arrive?

Brighter days are coming
From inside reality
Saw your seed to blooming
For tomorrow to be
Anything can become true
Within and farther out
All is really up to you
What love is then all about?

You have never tried
To give of what you can
And in your heart denied
To come and understand
For love is not a reason
Or a game to stand by
It’s open for every season
With work and each new try

Make a living
For your brother
In your giving
To one and another
Care enough to be free
In your heart an place
Conquest love’s liberty
Way out to tomorrow
Give or take opportunity
From bygone’s sorrow
Brighter days are coming
From inside reality
Saw your seed to blooming
For tomorrows to be

In space
The blossom tries
Many ways
The light dies
All grace is there
In darkish mood
Through times adhere
And timeless intrude
In a heart
Where our beats are found
Something will start
To come around
In a steady bliss
In the tomorrow’s flow
Where all of this
Shall come and go
We two
Apart and close
To renew
Like the petals of a rose
Within everything
That’s inside and alive
Together to bring
What may from it arrive?

You are just what you give
Of love or something sundry
Around it comes positive
Whatever it’s going to be
The limits are near endless
And carefree in its turn
As such you are defendless
In what way you must learn

Each time takes its distance
To give of its own touch
We need all love’s assistance
In every its way inasmuch
For tomorrow is in our way
With everything we give
There comes another day
Where we must together live

Brighter days are coming
From inside reality
Brighter days are coming
For you and for me
Brighter days are coming
For you and for me
Brighter days are coming
From inside reality
Brighter days are coming
For you and for me
Brighter days are coming
For you and for me
Brighter days are coming
For every opportunity
Brighter days are coming
From inside reality
Brighter days are coming
For you and for me
Brighter days are coming
For you and for me
Brighter days are coming
For every opportunity

For every opportunity
Let the children play and sing
You must teach them
