Sunset

 

The sunset's like a fire in the sky -

Orange, gold, and amber hued

The day has come and gone

And rests brightly in the blue.

The sun - a reflecting light

On thoughts as the day closes.

Was today well spent?

For soon the sun reposes...

The glow of day is fading

And soon will be past.

Have we made a memory

That will keep and last?

 

Embers of light glow softly,

Soon the sun will rest.

Did we add our light to the world?

Can we say, "I did my best?"

The glow of daylight closes,

Soon stars will touch the skies.

The glory of God in the heavens -

We'll have a new sunrise!

 

~ Starrlette L. Howard

 

Look up to the skies and behold;

regard the heavens high above you.

Job 35:5
