Though clouds may blot out the horizon,
And the day oft seems weary and long,
Just think of the dawn of tomorrow,
And cheer up your heart with a song.
For if every day we keep smilin,
And stick to our word 'carry on',
The shadows will break into sunshine,
And right will soon triumph over wrong.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

Andrew Wright was a Prisoner of War, captured at Dunkirk. This poem is taken from a notebook he kept while in the POW camps. It is difficult to believe that the writers of all of these poems were men who had in the main left school at the age of 14. Where he attributes the poem to an individual I have included that attribution. Andrew Wright died in 1987. These poems were uploaded by his son.
