Sundown

Inspired by several friends in my community; I treasure your gifts and the ways you give them.

I sit upon a rooftop

And I gaze upon the town

Windows full of candle light

And as the sun goes down

The baker packs his wares away

And smiles; a job well done

Parents, children, all alike

Have fed upon his bun

The inn is full of guests tonight

The inkeep bolts the doors

His hospitality in keep

With all his generous stores

The smiling lighter of the lamps

Extinguishes each glow

Her smile shines to light the way

Wherever the road might go

But God above does not turn in

Throughout the night he keeps

His children safe within His sight

He slumbers not nor sleeps
