MY RAINBOW IN THE SKY
| Two children playing Around their mother's knee The memory fills my very soul And warms the heart in me Two wondrous little children That we'd love until we die They filled our hearts with promise Like a rainbow in the sky Too soon they lost their mother I don't know God's reason why But while her children walk beside me I know she'll never die We lost her much too quickly We couldn't even say goodbye But she left her treasure with me Our rainbow in the sky They helped to fill the emptiness And soothe the heartfelt pain Through the beauty in their tiny hearts I learned to live again They let me share their childhood And through their love and care We built such wondrous memories A gift we'll always share And when the dark clouds gathered I had no need to cry Just by looking in their faces I had a rainbow in the sky The years have passed so swiftly And now they're fully grown But still they're here beside me I'll never walk alone Old age holds no terror For in sickness or in health I know I have a treasure Beyond any human wealth They've made this earth an Eden And each day I breathe a sigh That I walk so close to heaven They're my rainbow in the sky A young man and a woman Who have banished every cloud A young man and a woman Who will always make me proud And when I'm called to heaven And God asks me for my worth I will tell him of my children Who brought sunshine to this earth They're my present, past and future They make my spirits fly They're my reason for existence They're my rainbow in the sky They have fulfilled every hope and dream This parent ever had Their mother would be oh, so proud Just like their grateful dad I will always walk in sunshine Until life bids me goodbye Because they bestow upon me My own rainbow in the sky K.D.
