In those quiet hours as the sun begins to set

I find myself looking out to where my soul’s met

With a moment’s rest as darkness creeps into the horizon

I smile to myself at the feeling in which I’m realizing

That another day has past and all is as well as I might expect

I have done some good and little bad that I need regret

I cast my lines fishing for whatever the future holds

Somewhere beyond the surf line and kitchen scolds

Oh there are things I already miss about what is passing

But, I focus instead on the dreams that are amassing

Letting life unfold as I know I can’t stop and it will

Cherishing each moment and every word of my tale

Saying a quiet prayer and hoping for the very best

Each moment and person in my life’s treasured chest
