Sunrise Sunset On Your Demise

The sunshine, in your eyes
shines brightly, before your demise
quietly, your smile declines
sunlight no longer strives.

the family did not know, a better you, hide
behind everyday struggles, and trials
the children forsook service, your graveside
as you observe from on high.

so, give your flowers now, while alive
before your sunset dies.
