*Beauty of the Evening*

I open my eyes to the beauty of the shimmering glimmer of the evening

Watching the twinkle of the brightest stars, my heart is remembering

The romance cast by the shadows of the full moon's glow

Glistening across the wake of ocean waves moving ever so slow

To the sands of beach where l stand alone reflecting my humble past

Laughing to myself at the scene, thinking that love could never last

But every sparkle of the sea and stars, reminds me of a blessing in my life

Of the many good times that l've shared and a few filled with strife

l gaze in amazement at the glory and the depth of such a sight

Knowing my heart shines on the inside, and it is just as bright

For my life has been full of loving wonders as l dream beyond the moon

l'm happy standing here, watching this heavenly sight knowing it passes soon

But tonight these stars belong to me and all they stir me to feel

Sharing my moment with the wonders of the universe at a price that is a steal

Their twinkle can gladden my soul, the romance is in the air

As a calm breeze flows from the sea, tugging at my hair

Every star l see is a memory to me of love that does abide

Shared with others in my life, but mostly those at my side

Having created heaven on earth, that made this life a dream

And put the glimmer in my soul that has made my spirit beam

Love is really in my heart this day, the date that my life began

So l stand here gazing with my memories and my feet wet in the sand

At the moon and stars of the night shining from their light

l love my life and thank you all who made my heart so bright
