Meet Me At The Dawning
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Meet me in the morning.
Dawning upon the horizon.
Leaving behind those yesterdays.
Filled with sorrows and kept remorse.
Like a bad marriage staying in it,
Needing a divorce.
Meet me.
Leaving behind those miseries.
Leaving behind those sad memories.
Left when the dawn of morning,
Rising with nothing wished to mourn.
Remove that crap saddled on your back.
And move on.
To welcome the dawn.
Remove all the B.S. that deludes the facts.
And move on.
Knowing your life to live blessed to get,
Is deserving of joy and happiness.
You have got to plant that seed.
In your mind,
Fed to keep this belief.
Only you can stay determined,
Not to feed upon what you don't need.
Meet me at the dawning in the morning.
To share and not to care a despair,
With others.
Meet me at the dawning in the morning.
Knowing what was yesterday,
Tomorrow isn't there.
To want with a wish to relive.
Leave that to the people.
Doing their best,
To stop a future...
With a throwing of rocks.
As weapons to use everywhere to drop.
Hoping to block out the rising Sun.
And minds unaware,
Of what's being done.
To move humanity forward.
Without looking back.
Wishing to relive,
Those yesterdays gone to prolong.
Meet in the morning.
Together we will witness dawn.
Appearing upon the horizon.
No matter what had been going on.
Let's meet in the morning.
With nothing else to do but seek,
Joy and happiness.
Kept to keep with faith and belief!
'Okay.
I'm here.
Why are you so cheerful?'
Why shouldn't I be?
Have you ever witness,
The Sun rising upon the horizon?
It's as if,
Whatever happened yesterday.
Today?
Doesn't matter.
'So...
Does that mean,
The money I owe you...
And promised I would pay you back,
Months ago.
You will forgive and forget about it?'
Well...
Some things,
Are possible to forgive and forget.
'Meaning?'
Other things,
Kept to remember.
Are impossible to forget.
Especially...
When some people promise,
To do something not to do.
But...
Insist to keep me reminded of it.
'Oh.
So what are you saying?'
I am hoping when dawn appears,
Upon the horizon.
It will also dawn in your head as well!
That is why,
I invited you to have us both...
Witness this miracle.
'I'm serious.'
And, I am not?
