The golden glow of the evening
sunset is
Displaying God's Love for another day
The shadowing of the sun as it drops below
The snow covered mountain peaks
Beautiful picture that only God can
Create and place on this spectacular display
The evening shadows are dancing with
The sun's rays as darkness they seek
This too is the image of people as
We settle into our own evening of twilight in
age
The little things are not a bother for
We now see the bigger picture of life
The loved ones that surround us are
Yesterday's passion and on a memories page
Even the little ones causing trouble but
Never a heart ache or even strife
The beauty of life is now the memories that
Through yesterdays living we can glean
The images of those that have shared their
Lives with us but now are gone
Yes, their wonderful laughter tears of anger and
Their tears of joy can still be seen
In memories that are pieced together to
Make into our lives a beautiful song
When we pass beyond this river of life and
See the beautiful paradise come into view
This river of happy memories is often
Interrupted by the angry rocks in living
Where we find ourselves slipping and falling,
God picks us up making all like new
Beyond this river's crossing is that
Empty Cross of Salvation and Giving
