From Darkness a Light

The most tragic of years
brought about anguish and tears
And yet out of the darkness
a light shined from all borders

Race, creed, matters not
All our differences we have forgot
For we are brothers and sisters
In the eyes of our Lord

Only a nation such as ours
has the ability with all our powers
to rise above the water and mud
and build back cities with love

Come we have opened our hearts and homes
Giving to those who have lost all but hope
Take my hand let me be the one
to share my light

Loved the sentiment in your poem, if only all the nations in all the world could live that way.
