I apologize

I'm sorry I haven't written anything new recently but between lack of sleep and school, I can't focus enough to write a poem. Nor do I see that changing in the very near future. Maybe next week or the week after will be better.

A Song
A song can pass all cares away
Turn darkest night to golden day,
A song can transport you and me
To any place we long to be.
A song can melt a lover's heart
And tend'rest feelings thus impart.
For music is the great God's tool
Which blesses noble, wise, and fool.

The poor and rich can sing a song.
The weak and strong can hum along.
For tunes bespeak the lover's mood
Far dearer than a feast of food.
Those who mourn find precious peace
From hymns which help our faith increase.
For song and hymn from heaven flow
To bless the lives of all below.
-Vaughn J. Featherstone

The Dawning of a New Day

Through the night we are filled with fright
And the air is cold and uncertain.
The Day we knew is dead, filling us with dread
That Day's fate may become our own

If we endure the night without the light
We find hope with dawn
A new Day will be born, not at all worn
From the trials of yesterday

It will brighten the sky and defeat the lie
That the night had brought
Life will be set right, life will be bright
All the better after the night.
