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.
