Another Year Has Slipped Away

The sun has set behind the mountain,
Fading is another day.
And Like the setting of the sun,
Another Year has slipped away.

The Sunset painted pictures in the sky,
Vivid memories to the hours passed.
The Year, too, paints a picture of life
That unaltered will always last.

While the day is fading,
While the year is slipping away,
Take a moment to look back-
And see the record of the day

The New day will soon be dawning,
With new pictures in the sky.
Another Year’s page will soon be open,
And once again the days go by.

Only paint the finest picture
With the moments of the year.
Don’t be content for any other
Than the best of records clear.

I love old books, real letters, cups of tea, dirt and seeds and growing things, barefoot days and most of all being married to my best friend. I'm not really a writer. I just try to write because I can't seem to help it.
