There's a beautiful
gift in heaven
that the stars pick up.
They send it to earth
on silver ribbons
until they hand it
to the dawn,
who shares it
all through the day.
And when the sun sets,
the gift is lent to the wind,
and spread across the land,
giving everything
the luster of silver and gold,
which all but the
blindest eyes can see.
The gift lights every trail,
illuminating souls,
and fanning the world
with a unique warmth
that inspires beautiful dreams,
and a realization
that those dreams can
materialize out of the darkness.
That beauty is hope...
borne on the wings of faith.
