THE RAINBOW

How beautiful the rainbow I saw just yesterday,
So colourful and bright, it really cheered my day,
And as I gazed in wonder at this spectacle of light
I couldn't help but thank the Lord for giving me my sight

It had rained, the sky was dark so miserable and grey
But when the rainbow came in view it chased my blues away
So many colours could I see a vision to behold.
And hidden at the bottom could there be a pot of gold.

It spread itself across the sky from land to way up high,
And everyone who saw it could only stand and sigh.
But as quickly as it showed itself, it disappeared again
It's strange how when a rainbow comes, we forget about the rain
