Evenings

As the sun was setting this evening
The day light getting dim...
I and little brother sitting and talking...
Knowing that it's evening, knowing that the day is almost done.

My mind took me to years back...evenings when
Me and my little brother would be back from our games
Waiting for the gate to open...
Knowing that Ma and Pa will be now be home
Knowing that supper would be ready soon...
Knowing that the day is almost done...

And my eyes almost dropped a tear...
Knowing that those days are days of past
And just then like nature answered me right there and then
Enters Pa like he always does
And I smiled and suppressed a tear...
Ma must be here, right here somewhere too
