When the day is done 
and the sun returns,
moving back towards its origin,
beyond the horizon,
I know that  there will be other days like this;
there will be other moments in the sun, and so many other adventures. 


So, as the last rays of this day touch my face 
and its illumination begins to fade, 
I will be glad, feel blessed and happy, for all that this day has made
and created within me, in this day's experience.


I will gather with the birds now  to watch the sun's setting, 
soon to return to my nest 
where I will sleep and dream 
a whole new day 
into being
—with all the promise that day may also bring.
