Viewing the sunset with my children… tonight
I realized… I’ve shared them all… with the Lord
In my moments… of gladness and strife
From when I was a small child… too
Now… a mother and wife

With many colors… each painted all aglow
Times I’ve prayed… with a smile upon my heart
Sometimes… in my greatest of sorrows
With tears… I could not hold

The sunsets… are the days closing
Where the silence is welcomed
As childhood dreams dance upon starry skies…
Wrapped in the quietness… of this night

Yet, I see the sunrises… as a gift, too
For my eyes to behold
As they are painted by God… upon the horizon
In the most amazing... soft blues, pinks and golds

In that glorious sunrise
The day is filled with hope… from above
And through that gift He gives
Once again… God fills my heart with love

As sunrises turn to sunsets
At the end of each day
When all is silent… around the world
Many prayers… are often prayed

As innocent childhood dreams and wishes
Are also cast through windows…upon the stars
In the quiet of the night…
Gently resting… upon the brightest one… by far

In each star I gaze upon tonight…
I see the reflection of my childrens' faces
Where I now pray for… world peace
As I envision that dream for all the children
Coming true… someday
As I hold my own… ever so near
