The Clouds With Colors
As the sunset of my existence
colors the horizon of my life,
and it's brilliance is there for all to see;
I'm reminded that this lovely sight,
and how it takes my breath away,
has little, if anything to do with me.
For I am but, a spectator,
and as I gaze up at my sky,
I notice the most beautiful shade of blue;
framed by the "clouds with colors",
it almost causes me to cry,
for the beauty rare, is all because of you.
Each color is a part of your
painting my sky, above
weaving in and out of every breeze, and cloud;
as you have done for all your life,
decorating my world with Love,
with more blessings than one man should be allowed.
And if, that wasn't quite enough
your family, you did start,
giving me more of the beauty that you share;
gracing my sunset, once again
uplifting my heart,
thank-you, my daughter; and know how much I care !
colors the horizon of my life,
and it's brilliance is there for all to see;
I'm reminded that this lovely sight,
and how it takes my breath away,
has little, if anything to do with me.
For I am but, a spectator,
and as I gaze up at my sky,
I notice the most beautiful shade of blue;
framed by the "clouds with colors",
it almost causes me to cry,
for the beauty rare, is all because of you.
Each color is a part of your
painting my sky, above
weaving in and out of every breeze, and cloud;
as you have done for all your life,
decorating my world with Love,
with more blessings than one man should be allowed.
And if, that wasn't quite enough
your family, you did start,
giving me more of the beauty that you share;
gracing my sunset, once again
uplifting my heart,
thank-you, my daughter; and know how much I care !
