Sky Bright

Quickly the rain had fallen from the blackened clouds As the children all scattered for the need to stay dry They all were safe and had gotten from harms way To the cars they had run, with never a question why On the baseball field here, lightning can strike quick We knew, at this point, we had to call off the game No one was sorry, as the first two innings were played But I stood there hoping and wondering just the same It then just stopped, as quickly as it had started Where in the distance, for me, there was a surprise Something I had never seen before, so strong and clear But a rainbow so bright had appeared before my eyes Others were saying there were two lapped in the sky Being colorblind I could never see the ones subdued But this night, as the sun was yet to descend I witnessed a bright miracle, as it came into view I couldn’t tell you the colors, there, that I saw I could only say that it was a beautiful sight to see This, my friends, is truth as it happened just last night Now, I hope it will appear again one day just for me
