Living

My Setting Sun (To the one who will never stop loving me) Slowly the waves come calling to you As your radiance gleams with every hue Time is a cruel companion who comes for a visit Only with a question, can this be it? For your time has been spent longing for us While we moved on, never stopping to make a fuss Strangers around us always knew your worth With all your colors that brought forth mirth Every shade that once shouted out brilliance Now cries out to teach us lessons in resilience You have walked on the waters of faith so long Always hoping that we would come along But now it is with gentleness that you linger Not like a loud gong or a sharp splinter You leave us a warmth for the coldness ahead Without worrying about the darkness you will wed Alas, I refuse you to let you fade away my lovely For I don’t want to be dawn without a dusk Because without you what am, I ask Be forever my setting sun, until all of my life’s work

The things you do for me You may not listen to every word I say But you know what I need every day All the little help with the cooking And the continuous time spent cleaning You may not like my every decision But I know you are my man for e very mission For every mile I add to our travel I know you control the need for a battle You may not like the lazy part of me But I know you definitely love my daisy dee All the care you love giving our mom That you are now her son, I have this qualm You may not like my love for the night And I know every day its sleep that you fight But from all of the things you do for me What I love most, is you let me be me
