I'll Rise Again Anew Poem by Danny Speicher

It all came toppling, tumbling down
Believing rebuilding wouldn't reveal
Anything more than more heartbroken frowns
Or that feelings weren't things again I'd feel

It all came toppling, tumbling down
It's true that all that was built was destroyed
It happened overnight without a sound
Leaving hope dead with a large, gaping void

It all came toppling, tumbling down
And it remains in ruins to this day
But, chains are slowly becoming unbound
A day is coming when again I'll say

I'll rise again, oh world, I'll rise again
Rise again anew, let new life begin
