Rainbow Journey

Rainbow Journey



The rainbow....
Yeah, the rainbow is that magical thing,

The thing that we want to transcend
Because of all it promises to deliver

Once we get to the other side of it,
If and when we do.

I have never forgotten a single rainbow--
Those spied as a kid at home or even in the old sod of Erin.

Rainbows give us hope and promise--
Something to cling to like a teddy bear at night

That says, "Everything is going to be alright."
They are like that hot cup of cocoa on a cold winter morning,

Or like the hug you so desperately need in your deepest abyss of grief.
Rainbows are what keep us afloat in the seas of uncertainty.

Rainbows are the bridge between strife and life
At its worst and its best.

A life unfulfilled and stuck
Looks to the rainbow for a shred of possibility

That maybe there is a brighter future,
A promise of something better.....

The path to a rainbow is part faith, part innocence, and part adventure
To get to the other side of that beautiful array of color,

You must open your heart and believe and never give up
Even though the terrain to the other side is steep and rugged.

The journey to the other side of the rainbow is long and hard.
The pot of gold is there waiting for you.
