A Different Wish

 

 

 

My personal skies are rarely blue
they’re usually grey to black,
for me to see a rainbow
I need sunshine at my back.

On days when all the world is fine
and rainfall isn’t due,
to dream upon a rainbow
is a crazy thing to do.

I guess I’m just like all the rest
and hope for a better time,
a longer life with happy days
while I’m still in my prime.

To find a Leprechaun in green
sitting on some gold,
maybe then I would believe
the stories I’ve been told.

Threatening clouds are in the sky
and the sun is burning bright,
heavy rainfall hits the ground
refraction of the light.

A rainbow born in multi hues
will brighten up my day,
a different wish on everyone
that may just come my way.

"Threatening clouds are in the sky and the sun is burning bright" and "A rainbow born in multi hueswill brighten up my day,a different wish on everyone that may just come my way" were my favorite parts.
