Sunset

Finally came that time of the day
When burdens and worries I can forget.
The birds are singing in one place,
All is settling down at sunset.

No rush to go to work or anywhere,
The children are happy in their quest
To laugh and play without a care,
Because we're together at sunset.

The years will come and go fast,
And somethings we'll surely forget.
But when I'll look back in the past,
I'll remember us and the sunsets.

Solitaire man, one more field to clear,
Sowing with his bare, callous hands,
And watering with his sweat and tears.

Looking for a gentle, loving touch,
Searched high and low for a woman,
Around him love wasn’t much.

The rain came and changed the season,
The dust settled and there she was,
Why or how, he could not find a reason.

Her hand he took, and she loved him,
And together they started working;
It was again the season for sowing.

Contemplation

If is not integrity that guides your actions,
Then they are not worth taking.
If your life is lived without passion,
There’s something that went missing.

If your heart has hardened with age,
You’re letting life run through your fingers.
It’s better to be able to turn life’s pages,
Than relive sorrows and angers.

Every morning that the sun shines
Brings a renewed promise of hope.
Find time to think in quietness,
Sit in a porch, like the old folks.

There is something in contemplation:
When you look out to the fields and trees
They send your thoughts in motion,
And you might find the reasons to be…
