Wilma Neels Poet Light Verse

'rainbow Chaser'

Occasionally I can only see half of it
when I am lucky I get to see at least two

they always make me smile
remembering what they mean to you 
now all grown up they make me feel loved 

that is my own little reminder of 
God's love for me

To Nikko I am the rainbow chaser 
'cause I know she loves them too
But she rarely gets to lay eyes on them
so whenever I spot a rainbow 
I would snap a pic and send it off to her 

knowing that with my meager gesture 
I get to spread some cheer 

Here’s to Arild and his sliding rainbow 
and to Michael who gets lost in his

I have some pretty good reasons 
to embrace them even more 

their sizes may vary 
the colors sometimes strange

Guess what? 

They are still a blessing 
with or without that pot of gold 

*Inspired by MJF and Arild’s rainbow poems*
