When I thought about getting family and friends to help illustrate my simple poetry for a book we might someday publish, my sweet little niece, Sage, presented me a drawing she wanted to be included. It was a rainbow. I didn’t have a poem about Rainbows … so I wrote one for her.“
The rain has just stopped and look over there! Above the green mountain, so high It’s a bow full of colors that starts on the ground And arches on up to the sky Fools and young children believe an old myth About rainbows, that’s often been told And go racing cross fields towards the end of the arch In a desperate search to find gold This treasure, my child, has never been found But that doesn’t mean it’s not there Any can find it who know where to look So, with you, Dear, this secret, I’ll share The end of the rainbow isn’t a place But rather a moment in time And the gold that is found isn’t metal you touch But a memory that’s left in your mind
