Thank-you for the new day, new dawn and the renewed hope driving
Thank for the clean slate and horizons arising in optimistic invitation
For the showers of blessing gathering in grace filled mercies above

There was no little commotion in the city at the break of dawn. Cleo the local paparazzi was back with a bang, this time causing a major stir outside one of the hotels, a favourite spot for many of the city’s prominent politicians.

She slowly paced across the room, a glass of water firmly at hand, her eyes pensively staring at the walls. She took a deep breath, shaking her head curiously as she made her way to the living room.
