The Colors of Kory
Written By: Titania Joy Brown (2010)
Early morning, if you look to the east,
And allow your eyes to feast
Upon the beauty of the sky,
It’s Kory’s way of saying “Hi.”
There’s gold and silver and orange and blue.
He tends to favor the latter two.
You’ll see his hair in the flaming sun;
Blue eyes, as deep as the oceans run.
His sparkling ways will then shine through
When the sun hits the waves
As they come to you.
Stand very close, as they roll in
Close your eyes and he
Is with you again.
You’ll hear his voice
In the gentle breeze
And you may say out loud,
“Come back, Kory, please!”
Then the warmth of the sun
Will touch your face;
His way of saying,
“I’m in a better place.”
The call of the birds
As they soar through the air,
Will tell you that
he is waiting there.
And as the waves
Crash up on the shore
It’s Kory, asking
“What are you crying for?”
As the sun moves high
And the wind grows strong
You will hear him
Sing his song.
“Although I’m not with you,
You know I can see
What you’re doing down there,
And you better not be,
Crying or grieving
For the life that I had
Cause I’m hanging with God
Happy tears you should shed."
So all day long
As you go on your way
Know Kory is there
And will always stay.
Right here in our heart
Always on our mind
Cause all of us know
He is one of a kind.
But God knows there are times
When we’re all very sad
So he did us a favor
And was very glad,
To send us the water,
the wind and the sun
To remind us of Kory
When the day starts,
And is done.
So as in the morning
When you look to the East
For the orange and blue
So your eyes, they can feast.
So too, in the evening
Look to the West
When your work day is done
And you take time to rest.
Look there for the orange
And blue in the sky
As the sun starts to set
Wipe the tear from your eye.
And as in the morning
When the colors say “Hi”
So too, in the evening
They are waving “Good bye.”
