evening

The sun comes up,

And the sun goes down.

I stay put,

While the world goes ‘round.

What did the day bring?

Did I fulfill my purpose?

Did I accomplish anything,

To make the day worth it?

As I watch the sun set,

I’m reminded of how,

My days are numbered,

And there’s less of them now.

Another day over,

I’m another day older.

Am I any stronger now?

Any wiser or bolder?

What have I gained?

What things have I changed?

Will tomorrow be different?

Or will it all be the same?

Another day gone,

Another day is done.

This pattern keeps on,

Until the last one.
