Write a poem, ending with this line, which focuses on hope and positivity.
Blue
The sky had never looked so blue
As the day I met you
The day the flowers bloomed
And the wind zoomed
The sky had never looked so blue
As the day We fell in love
The day I kissed your lips
And the day your hands were on my hips
The sky had never looked so blue
As the day we said our I do’s
Or the days we drank too much booze
Or the days where we promised not to lose
The sky had never looked so blue
As the day our baby was born
And the day she said my name
Or the day she won her first game
The sky never looked so cloudy
As the day you came home sick
Saying it was just a cold
Because we were getting old
The sky had never looked so cloudy
As the day you slept to late
And the day you barely ate
Because you claimed to have a stomach ache
The sky never looked so cloudy
As when you stood without a smile
Or when you stopped singing songs
To help the day along
The sky never looked so cloudy
As the say you fell apart
and the day you begged for help
Because you didn’t see a purpose
The sky never looked so dark
As the day I beought you in
The doctors ran the tests
And you wept into my chest
The sky never looked so dark
As the day you help my hand
Your body riddled with pain
And awful thoughts filling your brain
The sky never looked so dark
As the day you started declining
As the day our daughter asked where you were
As the day your wedding ring stopped fitting
The sky never looked so dark
As the day you uttered your last words
And I had to make plans
To see you in a coffin
The sky never looked so black
As the day I told our daughter
That you were not coming home
And she cried all night long
The sky never looked so black
As the day it all set it
And I begged myself to give in
But I stayed as if you were living
The sky never looked so black
As the day I saw you in a coffin
Wearing your best dress
looking nearly alive
The sky never looked so black
As it did when you were lowered six feet down
And your daughter tried to stop them
But you never came around
The sky never looked so blue
As the day I woke up
And clung to you
Because dreams are more haunting than memories
