Turning to the Sunset

So funny now, the day's gone by
I sit beside my widow view
And all the flowers born anew
Within reflection, there I sigh

Of you I rise up to the sun
Another card still left to play
To take me back to yesterday
Just one more time perhaps then done

The sun is ebbing past the day
I rise to find the reason why
Alone I go, for you I try
I love you dear my acts will say

I knew them and they passed this way
