Find Me in the Rainbow – A Gentle Poem for When Words Fall Short
When someone we love passes away, words often fail. The depth of our grief, the silence of loss, and the ache of missing someone — they can’t be captured easily in conversation. That’s when poetry can step in and offer what everyday language cannot: stillness, beauty, and connection beyond the veil.
“Find Me in the Rainbow” is a gentle memorial poem created to bring comfort in those quiet moments of remembrance. Whether you're planning a celebration of life, supporting a grieving friend, or simply looking for a way to feel closer to someone who is no longer physically here, this printable poem offers a soft and healing presence.
This poem was lovingly written as a personal interpretation of the well-known piece “Look for Me in Rainbows” by Anon. While the words are original, the inspiration comes from the shared desire to remain close to those we’ve lost — in beauty, in light, and in color.
A Poem That Speaks to the Heart
When it’s time for me to go, don’t say goodbye…
Find me in the rainbows, high up in the sky.
With these opening lines, the poem reminds us that love doesn’t end — it transforms. In the colors of the sky, the hush of morning, or the flicker of a candle, we can feel their presence. And in the act of remembering, we keep their spirit alive.
