Behold the rainbows in the sky,
My heart leapt oh so high;
I'll never find that pot of gold,
They all say I'm too old;
It's alright I say with a sigh,
Don't worry I'll not cry!
For inside my heart wealth is found,
Sometimes it will astound.

This tugs at my heartstrings right now, as your wonderful words come so timely and ... I am reading them while listening to Mozart's "Laudate Dominum". Such a perfect combination, dear Jerry.

Thank you for this gift.

Mozart and my poem, such an unlikely combination, but I am very happy it worked for you. Thank you, Margherita. Hope your day is good.

Rainbows are so pretty. What could be prettier then a rainbow. I use to see them all the time when I lived in Hawaii. Nicely done Jerry...young people are looking for that pot of gold and us old people write about the rainbows.

Clever write.
Enjoyed, and that last line, I bet it is very true.
