Setting sun by Victor P. Gendrano (For Dina Cox on the death of her father) remember when the sun at its apex exudes warmth to all and exits with dignity to its night's journey when it finally disappears from view linger on and bask in its golden trail and hoard those memories when the night sneaks on you think always of tomorrow Published in World Haiku Review Vol. 2, Issue 2, July 2002 Comments: Victor, I cannot thank you enough for your thoughtfulness in posting this poem. I only found it today, upon my return from being with my Dad. My Dad died on January 22nd, and I had the very great privilege of being with him, and I hope, of gentling him into Heaven. Thank you again, --Dina. Victor, this is so very touching, so very true. .. and so beautifully expressed.Thank you for us as well as Dina!!!
