I look to the sky: <br />The sunshine blue sky, <br />And imagine the rain, <br />Falling like tears from the clouds, <br />And I see airplanes, <br />Disappearing as quickly as they appear, <br />Even before you realise, <br />And the clouds are white, <br />After the rain, the sun shining through, <br />Like rays from heaven, <br />And then, like magic, a rainbow appears, <br />Just like a painter working a canvas, <br />So paint me a rainbow, <br />In a beautiful blue sky, <br />Show all its colours, <br />As if we're on an airplane that does fly, <br />And when we reach the end of the rainbow, <br />We shall find that pot of gold, <br />Like a treasure chest, <br />Hidden by a pirate, <br />That holds such mystery, <br />Of a day that must unfold.<br /><br />Paula Glynn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/paint-me-a-rainbow/
