Riding the Rainbow

If I could catch a rainbow,
I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
on the days you're feeling blue.

If I could, I would build a mountain.
You could call your very own. 
A place to find serenity,
a place just to be alone.

If I could, I would take your troubles
and toss them into the sea,
but all these things
I'm finding are impossible for me.

I can not build a mountain
or catch a rainbow fair
but let me be what I know best.
A friend who's always there.

I promise to defend you.
Should the occasion ever rise.
And I promise to wipe away the tears
which might stream from your weeping eyes.

Let me be the trusted friend,
the one that you know best.
I will never leave you,
on that, you can surely rest.

I would put this in a greeting card and make a million dollars: I can not build a mountain or catch a rainbow fair but let me be what I know best. A friend who's always there.

Is that all it takes to make a million dollars, just one poem?..wow Please send me that company's name and phone number...lol You know when I go grocery shopping. I spend most of my time in the card isle, I just get lost in another world. I like the humor ones, funny ones, all kinds. Then when it's some one's birthday card I'm looking for I can't make up my mind. Thank you friend for the advise.
