Passing Time

Just a poem from my English I class. Let me know what you think!

Gently the waves roll on,
in the fading, setting sun
And as the sun goes away
the night replaces day
As the stars pop out to play
many ponder about their day
Just as thoughts fade into dreams
the worlds worries go away, it seems
And if you wake just eary enough
on may see the sun come up
While the sun comes up today
Whishful thoughts may come to stay
