I Wait in Hope

Its twilight
and I can’t see
the greying sea.
But only a glow
that is soon to die
fading fast away
in the darkening sky.

I watch the dark creep
silently o’er the land
steal the sparkle of the sea
and the warmth of the sand.

But I wait in hope
I have no fear
I know, God’s little lamps
will soon appear.
