Rainbow Nations

I didn’t ask to be white You didn’t ask to be black We didn’t ask to be The colors we are You didn’t ask to be sad You didn’t ask to have to cry Or to go hungry or to reason why But after every storm Sunbeams bend through rain And a Rainbow of hope shines So lets us get along Let us know that From one God we are made A rainbow of many colors In glorious array Lets shine out the glories Of who we are We are ONE Rainbow Of united colors In this our ONE world That was created We call HOME So turn your eyes heavenward Lift your broken hearts to the SON For He is coming soon And together we'll shine For The Son will make us A rainbow of many Nations Together we’ll be ONE © Brenda V Northeast 2 July 2011

I loved the write dear poet, yet have something to share....'just look at the varieties in this world, from plant to man...Jehovah is no boring God, and he gave us His creative hearts and thoughts, (in His image) ! Can you imagine if we all looked the same, and we only had one color of plant life?' *smiles* Have a good one Brenda..much love, james
