From a Rainbow, Emerged Hope There emerged a rainbow, from a rainy sky When the Sun shone, throwing sparkling rays Peeping through huge dark clouds so high, Seven sacred colours, I watched in praise. Then emerged a wish, from my heart, deep within I wished upon the rainbow, on its every hue, This heart mesmerised, by its colours - Green, Violet, Indigo, Yellow, Orange, Red and Blue. Then emerged a hope, from this soul's desire, That, one beautiful day, my wish would be granted, That, as these colours blend in a harmony higher, We all would be friends, our world - a rainbow painted. If we could just learn a simple lesson, The Way to mingle together in unison To be like the rainbow's colours, seven, We would make our place, a grand Heaven. We would happily reside in this safe haven, Our children could enjoy having innocent fun No more need to wage a war, nor have a prison To seek and destroy, will not have any reason. ~~~ |

This is a wonderful poem, I wish all that you do  If we all could only see people for people not what colour , race or group they belong , the world would be a much nicer place |

sudhir~ beautiful sentiments from your heart! your wish is my wish too. perhaps if enough of us band together we can achieve what seems to be the impossible. take care. amy "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

How did I miss this one? it is getting harder and harder to keep track of all the poems here. If we could just learn a simple lesson, The Way to mingle together in unison To be like the rainbow's colours, seven, We would make our place, a grand Heaven. We would happily reside in this safe haven, Our children could enjoy having innocent fun No more need to wage a war, nor have a prison To seek and destroy, will not have any reason. a beautiful poem filled with hope for the future. Had a big smile after reading this. wonderful. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |

"I wished upon the rainbow, on its every hue," .This is my favourite line, in a beautiful piece, we all need to wish on rainbows more especially for the sentiments expressed here. Thankyou Olias |

Beautiful work, Sudhir. This reminded me of a song we sang in 6th grade choir, about a man thinking of the day when he will be able to sit on his porch and watch the children play without having to worry about war and violence. The guy who wrote it lived in Israel, I believe. Thanks for the memory and the beautiful poem. Elizabeth I'm grabbing my hat and coat I'm leaving the cat a note Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town! |

Sudhir, If only more people saw the world that way, we would never have to worry about war or prejudice. Great poem with a wonderful lesson. Fundamentally, we are all the same. Love the picture of the rainbow you have painted here...beautiful my friend.
