Poem Commentary

I wrote this poem for a beautiful young man who died after a sad and tragic life. He left many friends and a family who loved him. His family did everything earthly possible to help him but he was just to sad to stay. I just wanted to bring Heaven down and wrap it around him and to give him a cloudless day.

Wrap me in blue




When I go to Heaven wrap me in blue;

The blue of a cloudless sky.
Blue as fresh as the morning dew,
As soft as the breath of a breeze.
A breeze that whispers of a faraway home,
Separated by space and time.

When I go to Heaven wrap me in blue;
Scented like high desert sage.
The iridescent blue of a song bird's wings,
Warmed by the summer sun's rays.
When I go to Heaven wrap me in blue,
Tied with an indigo bow.

When I go to Heaven wrap me in blue;
As strong as a Father's kind hands.
Blue as sweet as a Mother's prayers,
Whispered forever . . . no end.
When I go to Heaven wrap me in blue;
Washed in the blood of the Lamb.

Therefore, eternity was our covering
and our rock and our salvation...
(Abraham 2:16)

This is superb! I think you should write a couple more verses and maybe a chorus and get Wille Nelson to record it. You'd definitely have a hit on your hands. I know folks who would be singing it in church. Great write!

Blue is such a peaceful color. This poem is vibrant with not only color, but loving words as well. Wonderful writing.

Thanks for your kind words. Don't we have the prettiest blue skies? Heaven must be like that, or the feel of our clear blue sky. Thanks for reading.

Something is wrong with my computer or your page I couldn't get through all day yesterday. I finally got to read your poem on your Superman page. You have a wise soul and a gift of words. I liked it a lot it really spoke to me and the way I feel a lot of the time.

Thanks.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
