Everyday's End

And now we come to everyday’s end-

When light fades to colors dim.

Light’s creatures lay with one last sigh

As evening sounds sing lullabies

I sit and watch the sunset near

I listen to the crickets cheer

I watch the lightning bugs dance along,

To mimic the stars that appear above

And in this glorious moment told

I think upon my day now old,

And wonder at the decisions made

And if my mark was Godly made

Do others think me higher now?

Did I give so others could abound?

Did I listen with my full intent?

Did I think with thoughts purely kept?

And most importantly of all-

Did I glorify God with my everyday’s all?

Did I obediently cause my will to bend?

So that I may praise Him

At everyday’s end
