Outside my door was a rainbow of color
I’d never seen before,
Then God saw fit to deliver you,
right to my very door
He set the color of blue in your eyes
through which I now see summer skies
The color of pink upon your cheek
that keeps me smiling through the week
The color of night on your downy head,
which rests so quietly upon your bed
Your skin is snowy white
and shines translucent in the light
You are a true cherubic delight
Your lip was formed from an angel’s wing
and when you laugh I hear them sing
The colors in my life now have a special ring!
