In dawn’s tender embrace, they stand,
Two hearts bound by threads unseen,
Promises whispered in innocence,
Dreams woven with threads of green.

Yet the sun rises with questions,
Of paths untread and futures unknown,
A journey begun in shadows,
Where childhood’s laughter is overthrown.

Youth’s melody fades in silence,
Replaced by echoes of grown-up trials,
In the mirror, a child reflects,
Bearing the weight of a thousand miles.

Yet hope lingers in the heart’s depth,
A seed waiting for the sun’s light,
For within every shadow cast,
Lies the dawn of a brighter night.
