Rainbow Girl
rainbow girl
her heart glistens like a prism
compassion, wisdom and love
always offered to a needy friend
when others seem to abandon
when there are no rays of hope
beaming from above
I take solace in her comforting words
her humility is astonishing
a friend who has only recently entered my life
and yet she makes time
when a friendly voice can brighten a day
she doesn’t realize how much she offers to others
standing out like an opal on desert sand
magical friend
turns frowns to smiles
how can I reciprocate
for the lift she provides
iridescent, a star that surpasses all others
gratitude does not seem to be enough
rainbow girl stands at my side as I near the end
thousands of miles between us,
but just a phone call away
resurrecting struggling souls -- her forte
her worth is far more than a pot of gold
*Dedicated to a special Soup friend.
