At Setting Sun

Friends, please enjoy this poem, it is designed to bring peace and meditation at day's end.  Regardless of the trials, pains, heartaches and tribulations we may face during a day; the Lord designed each day to have an ending.  At day's ending we have the opportunity to lay down our heads, ask for forgiveness and give to God our cares and worries.  Then we can close our eyes and let go our burdens.

I would like to dedicate this to a special friend.  She knows who she is.  We'll call her Esther because that happens to be her name (LOL).  Tonight, she and I will rest a little more peaceably.  We are friends but for the past couple of days we let some petty stuff slip in between us.  Tonight, through friendship, we got the petty stuff removed.  At the setting of the sun is a perfect time to recommit to God, to one's friendship and to one's loves.  Esther, this one's for you:  Thank you for wishing Gaedith & I the very best.

AT SETTING SUN

[c]Robert C Burnham

At setting sun I walk with God

And reminisce on the ending day

Could I have given a few more smiles

And had some nicer things to say

I need such quiet times

If I'm to understand myself

Is there a little more I could have done

And a little less I could have shelved

The Lord is patient but He'll let me know

Where I wasn't quite my best

Did I offer anyone a little help

Did I offer a child some rest

The answers to these questions I ask

In the evening, to my savior alone

Will let me know if He is pleased

Or if for things, I must atone

At the setting sun I walk with God

And listen to what he has to say

I seek His love and His wisdom

So that tomorrow will be a better day.
