You can give me a million stars As I soar to Heaven in a space craft Let me sail the great oceans Diving into the deepest abyss A Rainbow will do! You can allow me to climb the highest mountain As I emerge from the depth of the rainforests Coming back down I will take a deserved rest And swim across the waters of the Amazon A Rainbow will do! You can help me attain The highest intelligence Turning me into Albert Einstein As I aim to wipe away humanity's existence A Rainbow will do! You can let me live in a palace Where only kings and queens share the space Or sleep with me under the clouds Until the hurricanes rage aloud A Rainbow will do! On my way to the hanging gardens of Babylon You can let me walk through the Pantheon As a powerfully built Greek god On his way to watch the mighty gladiator A Rainbow will do! You may want me to be a Pharaoh Atop a great pyramid Making sure the Nile is alive As the great warriors try to survive A Rainbow will do! You can let me make smoke clouds Welcoming the great Apache chief Riding through the Grand Canyon On his mighty white mustang A Rainbow will do! However, you may make dreams come true All I ever want is to see a rainbow I wish to feel its beauty As I walk through the arch Each colour wrapping me Butterflies swirling over my head I will then make your dream come true A simple rainbow that is all I ask A Rainbow will do! Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Beautiful write, Daniel! Sometimes, the simplest things are the only things that will get us through. I loved it!! sp Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'it might have been.' -John Greenleaf Whittier |

As I walk through the arch Each colour wrapping me Butterflies swirling over my head I can picture these swirling colors and it makes me feel really happy.  |

If a rainbow could be enough I'd light the world from above... stars would talk and giggle the moon would bless our love... HUGS [This message has been edited by RainbowGirl (edited 10-18-2000).] |

I like the concept of this. There is just something about the beauty of a rainbow that finalizes that things are going to get better from then on in. Like after a rain storm, the sight of a rainbow can make the heart so much brighter. Very nice. |

Rainbowgirl What an appropriate person to reply. Rainbows are the shining beauty of nature. In all of us there is a rainbow, waiting to show our beauty for others to share. Mona Lisa, If Da Vinci could read your words, he would paint a million Mona Lisa's. Thank you Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

I enjoyed and loved this so much because I think along with the rainbow, comes a promise and what more could anyone want! "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |

Vandana, May the next rainbow shine on you. Butterflies, Your sweet words are taken graciously. Rainbows shine to raise smiles, Even for a short time across the miles. Irish Rose, Thank you so much, your kind words are so reassuring. Cheers. Passing shadows, The rainbow is alive within us, but we have to find its true colours. Victoria, James???? Rainbows can confuse us at times, have you ever looked at a rainbow upside down, it is just like a hammock, waiting to comfort whoever needs to dream. Paula, You are so special, thank you again. For you Paula each colour of the rainbow means love, loving, lovingly, lovely, lov.... Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |
