Rainbow Shadow

i saw her one day
carrying a bag like a tear
she wore it in a rainbow
and had no fear
saw her the next
her hair in a hat
eyes to the sun
on the bus she sat
saw her everywhere
quiet on her toes
she was a rainbow shadow
and i wanted to be close
one day we danced
and i left this earth
i held her hand
and knew what it was worth
and i will remember her
by the touch of her hand
as the told me goodbye
