The Promise is a Rainbow

Be it young lovers hand in hand dedicating their lives to each other

Be it the seal of hope that the world will not be destroyed by flood

Be it the symbol of the beauty of light refracted by natural science

Be it the inspiration of the poet and artist alike to represent in art

of both paint and words.

Be it the symbol of luck as we search of that magical pot of gold

Be it how we climb up to see the world from that dream place

Be it how we die with our last thoughts dwelling on heaven's gate

Be it the seal of humanity's promise to each other that we will try

To bring those promises of peace and love and equality for all

Be it the promise of our striving for a better world for our children

Yes the promise to the future that we will strive to allow for you to exist

The promise of the Rainbow fits all these things

like a parent's hand stroking their child's check with love.

The promise of the rainbow.
