When The Day Began

When The Day Began

A Poem by Lewis Tedesco

When the day began
The sun shone bright
I looked to you, and in a moment
I knew everything in my life was right

The sun shone bright
The way the sun hits your face
Somehow, I've always known
This place was our place

The way the sun hits your face
It made all of my doubt disappear
In a moment, I found my place
I can now live with no fear

Somehow, I've always known
As the sun has always shone
I knew I would never be alone
I knew I had found my way home

This place was our place
The place where all dreams came true
This place was our place
The place where no lies would come through

But now, the sun is gone and set
The moon has come, the shadows are long
I've somehow forgotten, forgotten the way home
How will I find it, if I am alone

This place is no longer our place
Sadly, I have long forgotten the beauty of your face
Darkness is where my heart lies now
To love again, I don't know how

I never thought I would forget
How beautifully the sun had shone on your face
I never thought I would forget
That in this world, we never know our place

As I dream, I dream alone
I dream of some place, far, far away from home
To save myself from my fate
I try to remember the sun shining on your face

The moon shone bright
In place of the sun I once knew
The moon shone through…
Oh, how I miss you

When the day began
The sun shone bright
In a moment, I knew
Maybe it wasn't you I ever really knew…

I think this is my favorite.
My favorite stanza.
Somehow, I've always known
As the sun has always shone
I knew I would never be alone
I knew I had found my way home

But the ending is outstanding. I love a-ha endings and this is one.
