Nov. 7th - TAPS

I did jog 4 miles on the treadmill, but it took me all morning.  I kept getting phone calls that interrupted me. But that's okay. Jay is working in the tree harvest and I have some time today.
My song for the day is the famous bugle song "TAPS"
I've never known the words before but a friend e-mailed them to me.  So here they are:

Day is done
Gone the sun.
From the lakes
From the hills.
From the sky
All is well.
Safely rest
God is nigh.
Fading light
Dims the sight.
And a star
Gems the sky.
Gleaming bright
From afar.
Drawing nigh.
Falls the night.
Thanks and praise
For our days.
Neath the sun
Neath the stars
Neath the sky
As we go.
This we know
God is nigh.
