~ Twilight At The River's Crossing ~


The golden glow of the evening sunset is displaying God's love for another day
The shadowing of the sun as it drops below the snow covered mountain peaks
Beautiful picture that only God can create and place on this spectacular display
The evening shadows are dancing with the sun's rays as darkness they seek

This too is the image of people as we settle into our own evening of twilight in age
The little things are not a bother, for we now see the bigger picture of life
The loved ones that surround us are yesterdays passion and on a memories page
Even the little ones causing trouble, but never a heart ache or even strife

The beauty of life is now the memories that through yesterdays living we can glean
The images of those that have shared their lives with us, but now are gone
Yes, their wonderful laughter, tears of anger and their tears of joy can still be seen
In memories that are pieced together, to make into our lives a beautiful song
