Joy Comes In The Morning Poem by Patti Masterman

Joy comes in the morning
Dread comes in the night:
Life and love get born each day,
But dark snuffs out the light.

People die in darkness-
And greet the dawn with awe:
Evening is like winter's death;
Daylight, spring's own thaw

Joy comes in the morning
Singing greets it's birth-
Still, half the world's in darkness
Of our bicameral Earth.

Unknown things are happening,
Inside dark's canopy;
Daylight brings the truth to bear,
Returns the missing key.

Joy comes in the morning
A smile's upon our face;
To know that we have hours
Before night wins the race.
