A CHOICE OF LIGHT
The sun breaks against the dark,
Shining through the leaves,
It is a glorious choice,
This morning, filled with light.

I hear the birds a-singing,
In harmony,
Love fills the shadows,
And the hopes of yesterday
Flourish in this day’s embrace.

I choose to walk
In the brightness of today,
To seek out the miracles,
And find my place in the earth,
To be alive and free.

• Bessie Head
