Rainbows are my sweet dreams of forever,
swaying with arched back across paths of grey.
Gently encouraging every firm endeavour,
yet tenderly colouring more of each day.
Transported to places where bonds won't ever sever,
delights I never thought of come my way.
Life takes on colours of so many hues,
every day so much brighter following my dream.
Yesterdays bleakness takes on a different view,
so much that's different, such a wondrous extreme.
Oh how my spirit feels as soft as morning dew,
heaven seems so close, I feel a part of God's scheme.
Follow your path and you will achieve your vision,
weather the storms and you'll be proud of your decision.
