Rainbows "Let's build an ark," old Noah said, "Before the Heavens start to shed Their tears of rain and waters rise And we're alone beneath the skies." His neighbors must have thought him mad. They didn't know that Noah had His hand in God's, who led the way And listened to his prayers each day. God told him how and when to start. The rooms to place within the heart Of this great boat and levels too, For all the creatures that He knew Must come on board and stay until All was accomplished by His Will. How was it then, to know that they Were saved, while all life passed away? Then Noah and his family, Spent many months upon the sea And finally a dove was sent To fly around the firmament And see if anywhere dry land Meant their deliverance was at hand. Three times it flew before it found A place to land upon the ground. Then Noah with his horde in tow Went forth to find a place to go, To make a home and multiply. A rainbow arched across the sky. The sign from God that nevermore Would He cause the rains to pour. Thus destroying His creation. Rainbows fill me with elation! [This message has been edited by Trillium (02-09-2002 07:07 PM).] |

Betty Lou, You've done a great job on telling this story in rhyme. I have written a version of Noah too. I'll post it later. I enjoy retelling the Bible stories in rhyme, don't you? Cheryl |
