Color Me Hopeful Poem by Keith Balser

A rainbow on a rainy day -
That particolored arc on high,
That shiny ribbon on the gray

Clouds - paints a picture of the way
Dreams can revive that seemed to die.
A rainbow on a rainy day

Is like a filmy glaze of May
Gracing an icy wintry sky.
That shiny ribbon on the gray

Is like a sweetly smiling ray
Of candied sunlight. That is why
A rainbow on a rainy day

Can warm the heart and help allay
Despair. Life can be brightened by
That shiny ribbon on the gray.

So if you wonder what I'd say
Your love would look like, I'll reply:
A rainbow on a rainy day -
That shiny ribbon on the gray.
