Toward Sunset Poem by Lynn Anne Brown

I was born toward sunset
One near midsummer day
And as I walked through the night
I learned how to pray
From the moonlight
I heard
That It's never to dark
To feel the pull of it's love
When I'd sit still and hark
To the messages carried
By Many a Voice
To exercise Kindness
Is still my best choice
For while the path that I've walked
Has not always been clear
The Kin that I've chosen
Helped me overcome fear
And through them I've learned
To be part of the Tribe
And still to feel free
To hear what I hear
And see what I see
And as the sun rises slowly
To greet the new day
I'm glad I've found friends
With whom I can play
As we pick up the pieces
That were lost 'long the way
I Thank you for hearing
What I need to say
As I celebrate being
With family today
