One day

Original Submission by Keslyn Schmid

One day

One day you'll see,

That everything was meant to be.

That the sun will rise again,

When it feels like the world is crumbling in.

When it's nighttime,

pick up that dime.

Throw it into the wishing well.

Let it fly through the air,

And it's only fair,

That if all else fails,

There's always another day to fight.

Keep going towards the light.

Never give up,

You've got this.

Look up and see the sunshine.
