Evening shadows begin to show
As the sinking sun descends so slow
Another day has come and is going
The ebbing moon is showing.
Days of my youth are waning fast
This body is ailing, will it last?
Into the days of yester year
My mind keeps trying to veer.
Searching for those days so fun
Basking in the noonday sun.
Without a care to trouble me
As light as air, a bird so free.
But, alas I come back to earth
Those things will never rebirth
So I gear myself and sync my mind
To think of more present times.
I finally settle down and drift away
To dream and find younger days.
The hours of the midnight pass
And soon it is dawn at last.
A new beginning has come for me
Another day to be happy and free
The rising of the morning sun
Brings more hope to everyone.
The present day should be my plan
To take care of things at hand
Witness to all that cross my way
And go to that land of unending day!
