SUNSET

Well, it’s over…. Finally.

The clock did its job.

The sun did its job.

We did our job.

Time's up. Pull in the

tables and the chairs.

Hang up the aprons.
Check the ovens.

Lock the restaurant doors.

Walk the cobbled streets

till one is finally home.

“It’s over!”

Sometimes those are the

most beautiful words one

hears at the end of a long day - 
a long life - that is, 
unless one is a pessimist.
