Analysis of The Dusk Of My Day
Where Death’s dusk befell
So coldly where I lay
Yet the memories of my life fills me
Not of the hours I worked
Or the home I so proudly showed
Or the wealth I worked hard towards to flaunt
It was of the laughter of my loved ones
And the warmth of the sun on my skin
The smile of the stranger who became a friend
And your sweet love, which filled the air
As my final moments close
I look back on my life
Not with shame on a life unfinished
But the peace I felt when I first took your hand in mine
