Chasing Rainbows

When I was a child I heard it told At the end of a rainbow, There was a pot of gold. Then one day I seen A rainbow in the sky It seemed to call to me I knew I had to try I headed out of town With gold on my mind, With my eyes on the sky, My riches I would find. I was oblivious to the world And where I was going Suddenly the rainbow vanished Without me ever knowing. As I turned around, It was behind me now I must have passed it But I don’t know how. I took off running To find my treasure again I was getting close And I noticed it then. The rainbow had ended Right there at home I didn’t need my travels. I never had to roam. The riches I found That brought my life pleasure Was the love of my family That I will always treasure.
