The dawn was trembling shy about its rise
A timid glow afraid to claim the skies
It flickered like a child’s uncertain cries
Too weak to lift the night from where it lies
But then you breathed—and morning found its flame
It strengthened underneath your whispered name
The sun returned with dignity and aim
As if your courage taught it how to claim
You stood and all the colors fell in line
A blend of warmth too honest to design
The light grew bold enough to cross the pine
And paint the earth in strokes that felt divine
So wake with me when dawn begins to strain
When daybreak shivers under its own rain
For every sunrise borrows your refrain—
Your courage turning shadows into gain
