Beyond The Rainbow Poem by Frederick Nellist

A rainbow is natures multi coloured smile
A vision that makes our life worth while
It's presence gives joy to song and verse
Both the rain and sun help it to rehearse.

Way beyond the rainbow known only to few
Lies a magic land where dreams come true
It's beyond my reach, I don't know why
Oh please teach me Dorothy, how to fly.

A sight for hearts and minds to behold
The Wizard of Oz lives there so I'm told
Way along a road made of yellow bricks
Also a wicked witch inventing nasty tricks.

Perhaps if I tried wishing upon a star
I know little bluebirds can fly that far
I'm sure Dorothy's song could tell us more
Those unforgettable lyrics we all adore.

If I ever get there I would love to stay
Collecting lots of friends along the way
But only in dreams can we climb so high
This dream happens just once in a lullaby.
