As the Sun Goes Down

As the sun goes down At the end of the day Some of us would have passed away The sun will reappear tomorrow Unconcerned about any sorrow Or joy. That yesterday brought to bear The sun will still be there, Shining in the sky. Today Today everywhere on earth Women will give birth, Giving life anew To baby boys and girls With chubby cheeks and golden curls Making their debut Entering the world today Before today fades away As the sun goes down.

Let's hope for more additions than subtractions --- if we cannot realistically hope for zero subtractions. Smiles, Gershon

Today will become tomorrow yesterday. That gives us all something to think about. Take care, Gershon. Thank you for your welcome comments
