Good Morning Gloucester 
Niles Beach Sunset

I gaze upon the Sunset
On this Islands golden sand
As it reflects through its inlet
The beach smoothed out by tide’s hand
The shimmering of the sea
As the sun begins to settle west
Boats sailing through winter breeze
As darkness is at the water’s crest
The Giant waves begin to pound on shore
As night’s temperature starts to fall
Nature’s creatures begin to sing
The song of love’s first mating call
What a grand and glorious sight
That our father in heaven has given me
I can just imagine how beautiful and bright
God’s hallowed home will be.
