Sara Kendrick Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Sunsets of Life

When walking out the door, seeing the orb 
Question came was it a sunset or sunrise
'Twas beautiful gold though clouds' rays some absorb
It was then I knew we're old and wise   

Of course, recognized it was a sunset for us
But I didn't know how soon your sun would set
For you it turned to being so blessed plus
But for me my life's dreams offset

Thinking we'd walk in life's sunset together
Maybe more time to enjoy our ramada
Whether it was cold, hot or stormy weather
Somehow we'd try a Mexican tostada

You've gone home meeting loved ones, friends, Jesus
While I deal with earth's doubts, not He who frees us

Kai Michael Neumann March 28, 2026 at 2:10 AM Heartbreaking. Sending you loving and healing wishes, Kai Sara Kendrick March 28, 2026 at 6:17 AM Thank you, Kai. I appreciate the comforting words, love and healing wishes. Slowly by degrees it is getting better. I know it will take a while because we were together in marriage for 63 years and we dated for 2 1/2 years before that. Sara K

Bj Legros Kelley March 26, 2026 at 11:51 PM It is heartbreaking to think how lonesome without your dearly beloved Sara. Such a beautiful poem. I disappear from the site and vow to myself I won't stay away long, but then I do. I think about my friends here, and remember you, my husband and I have prayed for you. I always hope I go first, I know, how selfish of me, but my sweetheart is so much stronger than I am. Sending you a hug, and lifting a prayer for you right now. Sara Kendrick March 27, 2026 at 5:24 AM I need all the prayers and hugs that I can get, Bj. We don't know what we can do until we are faced with it. I prayed for God to give me to strength to make it through his short illness, then his death and funeral and He did so I know He will carry me through. Your visit and nice comforting comments are supportive. Sara K

Nette Onclaud March 26, 2026 at 9:34 PM to long life filled with memories and blessings...how are you coping, sara...beautiful poesy so honestly designed! Sara Kendrick March 27, 2026 at 5:20 AM It has not been easy, Nette. Something new comes up almost every week. Our oldest daughter has been helping me to handle all the legal, business, and other necessities that go along with a person's loved one. Your visit is uplifting. Sara K

Valsa George March 26, 2026 at 8:18 PM A lovely sonnet on the sunset of life and the sunset in nature. We never know how soon our sun will set. That keeps us in suspense. Sara Kendrick March 27, 2026 at 5:18 AM That is right, Valsa. We are not given an exit date so unless God reveals to us or gives us an extension from the death angel coming, all we can do is stay ready to go. Your visit is always encouraging. Sara K

Hows the weather there? Hope all good? Pleasure reading you always! Sending you light Sara Kendrick March 26, 2026 at 2:01 PM IE, A nice warm spring day today although a bit dry.

Andrea Dietrich March 23, 2026 at 2:05 PM Short and sweet. Did you mean point at the end? I think there's a typo. Andrea Dietrich March 25, 2026 at 1:09 PM Lots going on. Can't wait to see what you are working on Sara Kendrick March 24, 2026 at 5:14 AM Andrea, yes, a typo. LOL..I am planning on writing a poem but I don't know when. Things keep happening, Doris invited me out to eat yesterday and she also took me out to Sprewell Bluff. The roofers are back this morning with noise so loud it sounds like a tornado landed on the roof and is spinning and spinning up there. Thanks for the nice review. Sara K

Joseph P. DiMino March 23, 2026 at 8:35 AM Yep, in that one now, before lights out. What the heck, it has been a well lived experience -- wife and I believe in endless life, making best of it. Blessings my friend. Sara Kendrick March 23, 2026 at 12:08 PM Yes, Joe, I believe there is life after death. It hasn't been easy, but no one ever said life would be easy and at times it seemed long but now looking back it seems to have been very short. Thank you for the blessings. I was hoping to write a poem for this today, but it has not happened, however, the day isn't over. Sara K
