RAINBOWS

Reflecting: Life is looking better today. Rainbows seem so fitting to describe our day-to-day life.


RAINBOWS OF OUR LIFE

The colors in a rainbow make up our life,
They blend together sometimes causing strife.

The blues and greens are cool and bright,
They seem to let in so much light.

Red and yellows are warm and cozy,
They usually make us feel mellow and rosy.

While there is no color in black and white,
Like life, they are as opposite as day and night.

Life goes on day after day, blending from one to the other,
Just like the rainbows of our life, going from one color into another.

Who would have thought our life was like a painting,
Using the pallet of the rainbow etched with careful painstaking.

The colors in a rainbow sometimes become muted,
And like life, can often become disputed.

Even with careful nurturing looking up at the sky,
Life will look different from eye to eye.

We continue each day struggling with the hues and tones,
Stumbling through life, trying hard not to aimlessly roam.

But like the sun and the rain that are here to stay,
The rainbows of our life are not easily washed away.
