THE RAINBOW

Rainbows form at winter's end, the day befalls the rain

Raindrops fall the snow descends, the raging lion tamed

Where in forward seeking thoughts to take this lovely day

For never winters end to bring the sunshine more this way.

I search my soul for shameless thoughts of what the future mends

Broken on the rocks of hell my future never ends

Although I feel i may not know to where my life shall lead

I trust my love and life to those who help in times of need

My heartfelt joys and sorrow true to wear upon my sleeve

I hold on to my breath and prey the painful thoughts to leave.

If there truly is a lord of all who walk the earth

I might ask to thee I prey why for me a birth

Holding closer to my heart the things I see and want

My ever shorter days on earth are nothing but a haunt

Yet every day I wake and see that ever aging face

If there is a hell on earth, this has got to be the place.

Never has my heart been so to tell the tale true

The rainbow has its good and bad in days of old and new.
