When the day is done
and the sun returns,
moving back towards its origin,
beyond the horizon,
I know that there will be other days like this;
there will be other moments in the sun, and so many other adventures.
So, as the last rays of this day touch my face
and its illumination begins to fade,
I will be glad, feel blessed and happy, for all that this day has made
and created within me, in this day's experience.
I will gather with the birds now to watch the sun's setting,
soon to return to my nest
where I will sleep and dream
a whole new day
into being
—with all the promise that day may also bring.
