Like a comet

Blazing 'cross the evening sky

Gone too soon



Like a rainbow

Fading in the twinkling of an eye

Gone too soon



Shiny and sparky

And splendidly bright

Here one day

Gone one night



Like the loss of sunlight

On a cloudy afternoon

Gone too soon



Like a castle

Built upon a sandy beach

Gone too soon



Like a perfect flower

That is just beyond your reach

Gone too soon



Born to amuse

to inspire

To delight

Here one day

Gone one night



Like a sunset

Dying with the rising

Of the moon

Gone too soon

Gone too soon
