This isn't really a poem....it's a song by Danny Oertli that I LOVE!!
The wind blows your hair
On this warm November night
Your small hand's in mine
And eyes that ask me why
But I don't know, I don't know
But somewhere in the sky
Beyond the mountain peaks
The moon will find it's voice
As the sun lays down to sleep
And you ask me why she's gone
And I don't know where to start
As the sunset lights your face
I see God knows how to heal little hearts
Chorus
So he has mommy paint the sky
In deep ocean blue
She swirls the clouds red
To dance just for you
And mommy paints the sky
With the laughter of God
And there by Jesus's side
So high above
As if to say it won't be long
Mommy paints the sky
The heavens flame with gold
Slowly change in hue
The brilliance of the stage
That was made to shine for you
And with each amber flame
You watch a hand at play
Tender kisses fall
As she paints what words could never say
Mommy paints the sky
In deep ocean blue
She swirls the clouds red
To dance just for you
And mommy paints the sky
With the laughter of God
And there by Jesus's side
So high above
As if to say it won't be long
Mommy paints the sky
I'm so thankful
The Heavens still proclaim
Mercy and healing
In the middle of the pain
Thank you Jesus
For keeping hope alive
By the beauty of Heaven
Painted on the autumn sky
As if to say it won't be long
Mommy paints the sky (repeat)
