My Colorful Wife
My Colorful Wife
There was a time that you had died
Could not sustain and how I cried
I blamed your God who gave you life
Took it away and gave me strife
The redness of your auburn hair
Your hazel eyes that we both shared
The leeward path away from wind
To a verdant leafy abode
And daisies framed a yellow door
We conjured up something blue
The lake we sailed and only you
Could paint a picture with your thought
And earthtone colors Nature caught
A forest and it’s natural clime
The colors of my past had changed
But illness captured you too soon
You died beneath a somber moon
That left your colors all unseen
With darkened shades to hide the green
created such a dismal scene
I had your headstone colored puce
With yellow letters for your name
In hopes your Muses visit you
I lay my flowers by your stone
of many colors to be shone
A portrait that will withstand time
