At the End of the Rainbow

No one really knows what will be at the end
of a rainbows colorful blend.
Many may say there's gold in a pot,
But others, like me, would think not.

It could be anything, anything at all!
Maybe jewels, stacked 10 feet tall!
Or your favorite food, freshly baked,
or a garden full of flowers, newly watered and raked.

But maybe, it wouldn't be so grand. 
It may just be the chance to stand 
in the rainbow itself; to feel its glow,
as you stare in wonder, so now you know

take nothing for granted, even in the slightest!
But enjoy every experience at its brightest.
Though there may not be riches and gold
you now have many memories to be told!

So just remember,
That a rainbow's treasure
is nothing more than beauty at our fingertips.

A delightful poem - I am not bothered what is at the end of the rainbow - it always makes me smile and be happy when I see one. I read a poem where a rainbow was described as an upside down smile from God :-) Hugs Jan xx 7 xx
