Double Rainbow

As the sun was setting at days' end
A storm started raging came around bend
It came closer: too close into our lives
For there was lightning, thunder, rife

Fear would have consumed us that night
As we shook with each roll and strike
But God in his mercy sent a rainbow
Not just one rainbow but two in a row

Understand there is a scientific explanation
That addresses the reasons behind the bow
But that rainbow was God sent for I needed so
A little sign from above that he was still there

And he was tenderly holding me in his care
When the storms are raging on the tempestuous sea
Remember there are still rainbows for you and me
God is still alive; working our problems to bear

Nice poem! Thanks for your comment on my new upload! I do love coffee in the morning, whether it is cloudy, raining or snowing, however there is something about morning sun and coffee (and a good read)! Thanks, Gavin. (I'm only 19 - I've just realised, I must sound far older, what with my morning routine!)

This is an outstanding and well expressed poem, Sara, one that was a delight to read. Thanks for your comments on my poem, which was based on a true story when a NJ State Trooper ran a stop sign and struck a car, killing the driver and her passenger. Such tragedies inspire me to write about them, and I often personalize such poems. I would have sent you a site message, but I cannot get it to work for me. Carl.
