Sky

By Becca

 Mom was on a cleaning spree and found a scrap of yellow paper in her closet.

It was a poem.

It didn't have a name or date on it, but from the handwriting, she knew it was mine.

She put the paper on the dining room table where Beth and I where doing our schoolwork.

I picked it up, happy for a distraction, and read it.

Some parts where silly and bad spelling dotted the paper, but a few lines weren't that bad.

Later I rewrote it, keeping the first stanza, chucking the last, and altering the middle ones.

Anyhow, something I started when I was a little kid somehow found its way to our blog :)

The delicate lace of Sky's blue gown

Danced across endless space

The breath of the wind whirled it around

Starting the merriest chase

While Sky changed to her evening dress

The frills turned purple, pink

The stars peek out behind the darkness

Piercing the heavens as black as ink

As the velvet night began fading away

The silver moon still shone it's light

Sky slipped into her bright new today

But all still remembered the night
