Each day at twilight I remember you, Your star still shines above, Filling my heart with sadness, Gratefulness and love. Your triumph burst upon the earth, Unwavering trust led you home, A downy bed became your berth, Proof the night is long, I remember you when sunshine hides my shadow, And when cotton fields are white with bloom, When frost falls on the pumpkin, And grass is wet with morning dew. I remember you when nighttime falls, And stars come out to play, The little dipper winks at me, And morning is on its way. I remember you at noontime, When the plowshare sounds its tone, Dinner is on the table, The anvil quiets its drone. Shattering slumber's dream, The scream of a train whistle, Memories awaken and softly drift, Light and airy as the down of a thistle. When that bugle blows taps, When my final sun is down, I'll still remember you, In my heart you wear a crown. Each day at twilight I remember you, How just, how warm your heart beats free, In that land beyond the blue, I know one day you'll welcome me. © 2000 LaVonne Boruk
