Sunset

Sunset 
The last struggle 
And the last contribution
Of the sun
To mankind and his world
For a single day
After that the night 
The moon and the stars 
Will come to take over
Sunset may resemble man 
At his old age
The moon and the stars resemble 
The next generation
But most men at his old age are
Helpless
Only knowledge and experience 
May help
At old age 
Health is the most important affair 
Just not to trouble anyone else
And for sunset
It will slowly become 
Only a recall of
A  scene and a memory 
Of the younger days
