What Is At the End of the Rainbow Contest

What Is At The End Of The Rainbow Contest Sponsor: Eve Roper I've lost many people throughout my short thirty-five years, I've made a lot of memories turning laughter into tears. My rainbow only ends where the white light begins, I've had dreams and experiences as concrete evidence. I will state the important matters of the ones I have loved the most, the special spiritual beings with whom I am so close. My gramma laid on that soft bed during her last days, all her family gathered holding hands to send her on her way. I grew up knowing her love would always surround me, and in the end her beautiful brown eyes is all I wanted to see. My husbands grammy, who was also my very own, so gentle as she rocked sweet Ella, for she was never alone. A dear friend who I tried to hold during her darkest days, our hands held tight then drifted as she softly flew away. Next my beautiful big sister when at the end I just couldn't save, oh my, how much wisdom and compassion she generously gave. Her unhealthy lifestyle turned her white into her black, a strong sensibility of confidence did she lack. See, none of these memories makes my psyche sad, but reminds me of all the joy and love I still have. My rainbow is an arc of spectral colors appearing in vibrant colors, my most memorable times that will never compare to any other. It starts as I gently close my weary eyes for the last time, oh, what a stunning rainbow I'm grateful to call mine! My words aren't meant to be sad, but an array of harmonious sight, for at the end of my rainbow an infinity of glorious white light. Date Written: January 21, 2016
