A sunbeam traveled down a cloud
And dropped upon a bell
Suspended from a church tower-
And at it's ringing, fell
Upon a lady's fancy hat;
It trembled on a flower
Then chased a yellow butterfly
And wandered for an hour.
At last it settled in a drop
Of dew, upon the grass
And there it waited, napping
Till a new day came to pass.
It spied a baby on a swing
And landed in it's eye
It hung there very quietly
Till the child began to cry-
A mama came to gather close
Her offspring, and depart
And that is how a rainbow
Comes to live in Mother's heart.
This is so gently lyrical and sweet. This should be in a book of rhymes for children at school to discover the joys of verse.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
Should also be in a book of rhymes for adults to rediscover themselves, beautiful. :)
