As the sun begins to set Upon the sea of my life, Its rays glisten and shimmer Ushering in the coming night. With each roll of the waves, I pause and join the reflections On the purpose of this journey - Wrestling with my imperfections. Personal failures haunt my soul. Judgment bangs on my door. Battling my arrogant defenses. The guilt impossible to ignore. The people who crossed my path - Seemingly so often by design; Will I ever see them again When the sunset lowers the blinds? Regret is no way to be a legacy. That is the fate of unforgiveness. This is the foregone conclusion If this life is our final existence. Such thoughts make me wonder What is the point of this life? Even the most flawed of loves Gives the heart a reason to fight. True love never thinks of ending, So, hope is a worthwhile pursuit. Can this setting sun rise again? Could there be such a truth? This is the Scriptures’ promise. Beyond the sunset we will find, Faith in the risen Lord Jesus Assures this is not the last time.
