Looking For A Storm Spent Rainbow Poem by Terence George Craddock

sometimes in life some days in life
there will be incredibly bad days
this is inevitably sadly a fact of life

that simply cannot be changed
hopefully an incredibly bad day
will be rare seldom bother people

if when an incredibly black day breaks
upon daily horizon causing drama chaos;

take it on the chin suck it up
square shoulders face events
with fortitude take a breath

take a good slow deep long breath
let it out slowly slowly then look
for a rainbow face danger disaster;

do what you can take a few slow steps
rather than blind panic denial no steps
put best foot forward wade into disaster

doing is better than petrified hopeless
worrying get done what you can accept
what cannot be changed rest tomorrow

is a new day hopefully break of dawn
will break into a new day sun shining;

with a few blessings a few good things
happening in life: a little rain must fall
but after falling rain the sun will shine

look for the beauty the wonderful gift
of a glorious new rainbow blessing all
with eyes taking time to see with seconds;

minutes of heart thrilling rainbow beauty
in arching colour band stretching across
an opening sunshine sky this is blessing

of a hope filled brighter day dawning
new hope born a possible radiant day
a potential radiant day waiting to be born;
