If I must choose from God’s perfections
I think I would have to say
I prefer the glorious picture
at beginning of the day

When the air is fresh and clear
and the colors bright and true,
with no man-caused impurities
around to spoil the view.

The rosy pink of dawning
painted on the Eastern sky,
is so astounding that it stays with me
as  busy hours go by.

Sunset runs a real close second
to the sunrise it is true,
but when its show is over
it means one more day is through.

My future days are fewer
as the years are passing by.
I’d rather have sunrise’s hello
than the sunset’s bold goodbye

A lovely view of life, and nature.  I am just the opposite, I am a night person.  I love that we are all so different.

Dear Joyce

A beautiful poem indeed! As great poets and poetesses before you, your poetry will be read long after the 'sunsets bold goodbye'!

Love Verbena xo
