Days End

In The coolness of the evening...
When the sun is going down,
The shadows of the stately trees...
Are long upon the ground.

A gentle breeze comes blowing.
Blue skies begin to gray,
Sunset's rays are glowing
All mark the end of day.

The birds have ceased their singing,
And seek their nightly place,
The stars begin appearing...
And fill the darkening space.

The toils of this day are over.
Now is the time for rest...
With comfort in the knowledge
That I have done my best.

The dawn will come tomorrow,
And bring a brighter day,
And all the disappointments
Should surely pass away.

The noon-day sun, high in the sky...
Will warm my heart and soul,
And be a source of strength...
To help me reach my goal.

When the day is finished...
And the sun sets in the west,
I can say within my heart...
"Today, I did my best!"
