The children played through rainy days, just so they could see a rainbow; It didn't happen as they'd hoped, the sky never put on a show.
A blazing sun peaked through the trees, and the children forgot their mission; Turning toward their folks imploring now, could we please have your permission ?
To take a hike into the nearby woods, where squirrels and rabbits play; "We promise that we won't take long", so their elders gave them an "O.K."
They danced about the swirling fountain, at the entrance of the jade-green forest; Then took a trip down to the lake, where they could lounge and take a rest.
When suddenly a burst of lightning, carved its way through the maple trees; Wild thunder pounded with all its might, the wind blew harder with each breeze.
Well, the children hid inside their tent, until the raging storm had passed; And waiting for them in the sky above, was a precious gift from God at last !
A rainbow carved its way across the sky, red, yellow, green, and purple light; Magical moments filled their hearts, as they laughed and cheered in sheer delight.
Remember, when you least expect it, a rainbow may come into view; And somehow the chaos of life relents, for the world will begin anew.
