By the Light

By the Light

By the light of this day

may you find the best way

to let go of the hurt and the hate

By the light of this day

don’t look the other way

from the suffering of either side

I know things are rough

but one Civil War

was many times more

than anyone thought was enough

By the light of this day

Throw the headlines away

and search the best parts of your heart

By the light of this day

you must find your own way

to let go of the hurt and the hate

The Bard of Appanoose
