Exceptional
This work has reached the exceptional level
Somehow it gave comfort

God gave me a Sun~Bow

by Debi Pick Marquette

 

'Twas hard when I heard of her death

I wished I'd called her back that day 

Now she has taken her last breath

I must accept she's passed away

 

She wanted to go out for lunch

That day I had too much to do

If I had only had a hunch

I would not feel the guilt that's due

 

Arrived home from the funeral 

I planned to lie down in my bed

My heart still aching in my soul

My hubby says, look here instead

 

That's when I saw it in the sky

A lovely ball of colored glow

Like a round pastel butterfly

He said from God, your own Sun~Bow

 

I wondered if it was a sign

Life happens as it's meant to be

When He sent it with bright sunshine

I felt somehow it lifted me

 

To lose a friend was hard to take

 But now this peace felt lyrical

Reminded me He won't forsake

Perhaps this was My Miracle

To be precise, my husband used the word, rainbow. Then found out later they were called sun~bows
