Rainbows

I never dreamed that rainbows would come

That I would be the lucky one

That when my beautiful boy turned three

The rain would start… and fall on me.

I have three children who all are kind

Gentle, fun and with great minds

My girl is sweet and loving and true

My youngest tears around and lives true blue

But Trystn, our eldest, just sits and smiles

For him we’ve all gone the extra mile

Sometimes I wonder why the rainbows came

To bless our life again and again

There are rainbows in my tears, I’ve found

When curled up and sobbing on the ground

And rainbows in my happiest days

When flowers dance and children play

For rainbows promise God is near

Despite the joys, and in the fear

And I love the colours in the rain

For rainbows follow, again and again

While today there is sunshine in my boy’s eyes

And cuddles, loves, grunts and smiles

Who knows what tomorrow may bring?

In the rain, under rainbows, I’ll praise and sing.. 

(For my friend Cath, and Trystn, the boy who brought rainbows to his family)
