When the Sun Sets For You
Daily, the sun sets
And the set, the ambiance
Dimmer and darker gets
Losing all its radiance
Every so often too
Our lives’ suns set
In a season undue
Our hopes, with gloom beset
To this, we are helpless
This’ nature’s ordinance
The roster for more and less
Demanding obeisance
For every session of secular joy
Our days of gay and bloom
Could fade, and then cloy
Dwindling to misery and gloom
We find too that friends are away
Therefore, we sorrow alone
Too bad for a rainy day
How far hath delight flown!
But as the nights come
To save us from much labor
With sleep our beings to reform
Lest we struggle and bore
So do our lives’ suns hide
To make for a time of quiet
Lest we bloat with pride
While underachievers yet
If the sun sets and hopes, tend to fade
Sit still and enjoy the shade
Perhaps tis shining on the land yonder
Drying the flood of a rainstorm, do not despair
