The Sun Has Set Poem by Danny Speicher

The sun has set and the night has come, dear
And though the darkness now blots out the light
And though the dawn be far away from sight
In whispers of the breeze I’ll still be near

How I wish the daylight had shone brighter
And I wish the hours had been longer
And I wish that I could have been stronger
I’d give my all, your load to be lighter

But, the road diverged within the dark woods
You journeyed north, leaving me on my own
You journeyed north, bearing burdens alone
As you go on, please be strong and be good

If e’er you loved me, e’er loved me at all
Believe you’re amazing and follow your call
