Lemondrop Sun

The sun sets on a restless sea,

I know that night will follow.
The sky will soon grow dark as pitch,
The starlight cold and hollow.
But I’ll hold that lemon drop sun
Snug within my memory
And all the darkness that may come
Cannot take that joy from me.
 
There are choices that we must make
That shape who we will be,
Do we see only coming night
Or the sun on the sea?
Do we seek that which darkness breeds
Or do we change our gaze
And focus instead on the hope
That’s born in the sun’s rays?
