By Rainbow's Kiss

And should my life, a flower be
                      Each petal, of a memory
I’d find a stem of envied bliss
            In lush of hue by rainbow’s kiss

A bloom of full and rich delight
             In gratitude, so soft and white
Abundant as a garden grows
              I think back now as I suppose

It’s not that thorns have never stung
         It’s just that song, I haven’t sung
For what reflects in morning sun
        The softest petals, moonlight spun

And when my life, as flowers do
               Begins to fade, not to be blue
A lifetime gifted by the Source
              Will carry me with no remorse
