the sun is setting

i don't know what i would do
without you in our lives
i cannot begin to imagine
how to carry on

this world would be a little colder
without your laughter

i would not know the way
down the shoreline without your hand

i could not sit under another sunset
without thinking of you

i will promise you to stand behind
his shadows and help him shine

my love for you will forever grow
along with your son's eyes

i will not let you down
and will forever look for you
in the burning colors of a midsummer
saint lawrence setting sun............
