Light Dawns
By Stephen Emmanuel Ogboh

Light Dawns
a smile is a beautiful thing. blessed are families who have a lot of them.
a merry heart is the best medicine everyone needs more of them— dad, mum, brother, sister, everyone.
silent waters run deep & only the luckiest ones find a river near them — and the pearls and gemstones she houses.
and we all love dawns — my auntie says light dawns with the answers to many midnight prayers and that to look at a dawn light through a dewdrop on a leaf makes you forget the sorrows of the previous night.
we know that you know this and we know that you have all the beautiful colours of dawn in your smiles and your heart.
keep smiling keep shining.
