Sunset of Life

The sunset of life has many hues Your family, friends and neighbors You have no regrets; you’ve paid your dues Completed a life time of labors The light grows dim, slowly fades away Those that are closest are near No longer in this world must you stay You face what’s next without fear Your passage into another world A pleasure you should savor Those gone before now are unfurled Old family, friends, and neighbors From that sunset on the other side Springs an eternal sunrise Again with loved ones you will abide God’s love for you never dies
