When you see a rainbow

A rainbow appears when there is sun and rain

The weathers equivalent of joy and pain

Grey clouds may come to darken your day

Sunshine and blue skies, will light up your way

 

A spectrum of colour created by reflection of light

An optical illusion, presenting an arc that delights

The rain subsides and the rainbow fades away

The sun breaks through, revealing a brighter day

 

At the end of the rainbow there's a pot of gold

A fairytale and mythical story, so often told

In truth, the end of a rainbow can never be found

It vanishes as the raindrops sink into the ground

 

Hold a light to yourself and reflect the beauty inside

Be proud of the person you are, own your own pride

Take the rough with smooth, the light with the shade

Ride through the storm, never let your rainbow fade
