CHARLOTTE RAGOZIN The Sun Rises First over the Atlantic Up and over the Appalachians Then over the never ending corn fields Over the Rockies Rises over the Sierras And lights up America Then everyone wakes up And hopes for a good day But we all know Some days are just hard Especially some this past year Maybe you are struggling with your mental health Struggling to pay your rent Struggling to get food on your plate Or maybe you just do not want to get out of bed These feelings are valid Everyone feels this at some point But, we are here today to celebrate a good day To celebrate what is to come A new president and vice president A new vaccine for Covid-19 A new year full of opportunities There is hope There are better days to come There are brighter days to come
