First Line: I sit and watch the sun go down
Last Line: And I catch a glimpse of it.
Subject(s): Evening; Heaven; Lakes; Sunset; Twilight; Paradise; Pools; Ponds
I sit and watch the sun go down
On the other side of the lake,
As all the colors from the sky
The waters try to take.
It is such a wonderful picture,
The Artist, too, is the best,
And as I enjoy its beauty
The sun sinks low in the west.
And the gates of the New Jerusalem
Seem left ajar for a bit,
A golden path leads across the lake
And I catch a glimpse of It.
