Today I saw a rainbow
I saw it end to end
It came to announce the end of rain
Like a long-lost friend
The children stood at the window
Staring in kiddy awe
They had seen plenty of rainbows
But none like this one before
And as we gazed in wonder
My son announced I see two
And there it was...a double
Just as if one wouldn't do
It stretched across hills and fields
Like it was always there
And as I stood with tears in my eyes
It began to disappear
“Aw” came the cry of children
And me too I must admit
It seemed too brief, I was not ready
To truly part with it
But like so much in life
I let go and began to smile
For rainbows are only treasures
'Cos we see them only once in a while.
