...

Out of darkness and into light,
a new man is born tonight.
new soul occupies old shell,
no marks to help the world tell.

the difference lies within
hidden, a new life begins

the sins of old weigh on shoulders new
the burdens too big for one to bear
yet determined he is to make them few
the broken life perhaps not beyond repair.

hmm. hope is the word. and faith.
