Gone too soon

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 sparkly
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
