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 (Quote: " 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
