Los Angeles RAINBOW of Hope and Promise...

We've been having almost a month long now of hot, dry and sunny California weather to a tee... but today we got a break from it with a bit of an afternoon pitter, patter. Afterwards, a magnificent rainbow graced across the sky.

A good way to end August on this note...hope and promise appears like a rainbow after the rain. Now I'm ready for the "ber" months. :)

I'll paint you a rainbow as a gift from me,
Then hang it from heaven for the whole world to see.
On a canvas of love I'll cover your fears,
With a soft brush I'll dry all your tears.

I'll paint you a rainbow with feelings so deep,
My stroke will be gentle, my touch you may keep.
On a palette of words I will tenderly blend,
Colorful thoughts with bright verses to send.

I'll paint you a rainbow in reds, blues and gold,
Stretched like loving arms ready to enfold.
And deep in the center of the most vibrant hue,
I'll etch from memory the essence of you.

I'll paint you a rainbow, a bridge to my heart,
So loneliness and pain can begin to depart.
Just look up at the sky when life hits a bend,
I painted a rainbow for YOU my Dearest One!

nice poem. the last line should have ended with a "friend" to make it rhyme. just a thought.

REPLY @ plaridel

yeah, you're right...it would have been nicer if the author ended it with "friend".
