Into the Gloaming
Twilight cast eerie shadows 'pon the tree
A lonely tree with frail limbs dark and bare
Reaching into dusk with despairing plea
Will the sun rise again this anxious year
Going into the dark gloaming is scary
Twilight of life is an arduous time
The setting sun against open field airy
Paints a picture of a future sublime
Mountains that peek through clouds at setting sun
Rocky ragged, difficult heights to scale
When hair is white His love has just begun
He'll sustain me when my body is frail
Into the gloaming glide~ quiet time comes
Over the mountains many more lifetimes
