Adieu to the Day

 


The sunset fades
The heavens gray,
And shadows turn to black. 

Soft birdsong ends, 
Sly crickets sing, 
And twilight ebbs to night. 

I settle in
To rest my head
And send my thanks to God. 

For sun-filled hours,
For treasured tears,
And His protecting hand. 

In peaceful sleep 
I pass the night
And waken still with God.

Three thousand six hundred seconds of time ticking away.  I have 24 hours to live a single day. Seven days in which to live a single week. A month, a year, a decade. These only matter in the face of passing time.  In twenty years, will it matter what I did that afternoon in high school when I read for three hours straight?  In five years will it matter what I ate for breakfast this morning? In one year, will it matter if I was maximally efficient for the minimal amount time I can stay at maximum? In one month will I care if my bed was made every morning of every day? In one week, will it matter if I completed every task on my daily to-do? In one hour, will it matter how I just spent the last? In one minute, will I care ho...
