I looked out of my window
as the rain came thrashing down
and darkness filled an endless sky
all and all around

Will the tears come bitter
as they've done each day
or will they flow as to a sea
from my eyes like bays

I ask myself the questions
Where's she,where's he,where's I?
And the rain it fell again
cascadeing from my eyes

Long ago the world was warm
Dry and bright and whole
now its shattered by rain
where did the rainbows go?

Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

After the rain..the rainbow will appear again...tears fall and then a rainbow appears...and your pot of gold is just over the rainbow....

somewhere over the rainbow.....

Wishing for you rainbows on your horizon.
Happy Birthday Paul.

Wash my heart out on the stones ... and I'm almost gone.

Beautifully done, especially the last two lines.

(big angel hugs) God Bless You, dearest friend, my sentiments exactly and I truly believe soon enough the rainbow will peak out, all we need is a change! (sigh) Yay, I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Walter, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
