Another Beautiful Sunset

Living atop a canyon provides some of God's most beautiful creations daily. Tonight the sunset was so vibrant and picturesque with the hot air balloon in the sky. A short time later the full moon was visible appearing as though it was hung above the middle of the canyon.

***

Day is done, gone the sun,

From the lake, from the hills, from the sky

All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

***

Fading light, dim the sight,

And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.

From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.

***

Thanks and praise for our days,

Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky,

As we go, this we know, God is nigh.

***

Sun has set, shadows come,

Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds

Always true to a promise that they made.

***

While the light fades from sight,

And the stars gleaming rays softly send,

To they hands we our souls, Lord commend.

*****

From my days as a scout!
