Standing outside in the cold
Gazing at the sky
Somehow I knew, deep inside
I had come to say goodbye
The sun had started going down
The reason I was here
The pretty sky distracted me
From showing you more tears
Wisps of purple mixed with pink
A hint of orange found
The quiet beauty of the sun
Had spread itself around
I couldn't help but think of you
And all you've ever done
You took the love that God gave you
And spread it like the sun
Purple, pink, and orange too
Kindness, love and cheer
God sent you from up above
To show He's ever near
But, now that your sun has set
And we must say goodbye
We won't forget Whose love you gave
For it's painted in the sky
Gazing at the sky
Somehow I knew, deep inside
I had come to say goodbye
The sun had started going down
The reason I was here
The pretty sky distracted me
From showing you more tears
Wisps of purple mixed with pink
A hint of orange found
The quiet beauty of the sun
Had spread itself around
I couldn't help but think of you
And all you've ever done
You took the love that God gave you
And spread it like the sun
Purple, pink, and orange too
Kindness, love and cheer
God sent you from up above
To show He's ever near
But, now that your sun has set
And we must say goodbye
We won't forget Whose love you gave
For it's painted in the sky

Written December 2004. Dedicated to the memory of my Grandmother who died December 18, 2004. I wrote it partially for myself and partially for the bulletin for her memorial service.
This is probably the first poem I've ever written by a deadline. I think I finished it in one sitting, once I got the general idea for what I wanted. ^_^
