The occurrence of a setting sun
Tells us that light is impermanent,
That darkness is always imminent and
Signals that even the brightest days
Come to an end.
But the world doesn’t stop spinning
When the sun goes down-
Soon enough
That sun will rise again.
We’ve been through hard things
Before-
Loss of loved ones
Death of dreams
Deep regrets.
Battered, bruised
And light depraved as we’ve been,
We made it through,
Didn’t we?
LORD willing,
We will make it through
Once more.
