    A Dancing Fox, A New Dawn

    -

    Sunlight beckons, a new dawn''s day,

    Chasing away the dark night''s grey.

    .

    Proud hills and white forests covered the eye,

    A frozen world beneath a bold blue sky.

    .

    In this new dawn, there danced a white fox,

    In glittering snow, and ice, and frost.

    .

    From tree to tree, from hill to hill,

    The fox danced wherever she will.

    .

    Come dawn, come noon, the fox yet spun,

    A dance of joy, a dance of fun.

    .

    Now marches on, the evening''s dark,

    Does that free dance yet fall apart?

    .

    Nay, that white fox dances true,

    From dawn to dusk, she begins anew.

    .

    And as the light yet fades to grey,

    That fox prepares a new dawn''s day.

    .

    Life

    -

    Life is pretty rough, not always fair and not always fun,

    Remember, my friend, that after darkness does come the Sun.

    .

    Look not to the darkness, send your eyes to the sky,

    Best friend, smile, and think, the adventures we will fly!

    .

    For yes life can be rough, but it can also be great,

    The mystery, the wonder, don''t tarry or be late!

    .

    Dance with a smile, spin with a grin,

    Fight off the sad, know you will win!

    .

    I''ve got faith in you, shrimp, you''re a trooper, you are,

    Things have been rough, but I know you''ll make it quite far.

    .

    So yes, fickle life, is it a dream or a curse?

    Let the light in you grow, happy feelings do nurse!
