After the Storm the Rainbow Appears

In our lives, we like a friend
one that's always good to us
but not a fair-weather one at all
they don't care you miss the last bus

It's better to have a real true friend
one who brightens your day like a rainbow
a positive friend to inspire you
keeping you true helping you to grow

The rainbow covers all of the skies
in all, its wonderful colours are so bright
after the showers of rain have gone
it lightens that sky so full of light

Many a shower darkens above
but the rainbow brightens the skies
just like a real faithful friend
always there being so very wise

No matter how wild is the storm
that friend is there at your shoulder
being so close gives you assurance
together able to divert every boulder

" A friend is like a rainbow, always there for you after a storm" - Anon.)

Beautifully expressed and well written Gordon. Rainbows are one of my favorite things. When times are hard and I pray for a long time about something that troubles me soon I start dreaming about rainbows. I think it's the Good Lord telling me the storm is over and everything will be alright. Good Stuff here my friend as always, God Bless, JB Soup Mail
