Rainbow:  an arch of colours in the sky, caused by the refraction and dispersion of the sun's light by water droplets in the atmosphere. 

Rainbow:  created by God as a promised of restored hope, a deliverance to better times.

This is to my rainbows, past, present & future.............


RAINBOW

© Robert C Burnham 


Lightning strikes, Thunder rolls

Rain pelting, storm unfolds

Raging force, winds so strong

Seems to last, far too long

Then a dead calm, a quiet sky

Clouds collapse, float on by

Sun comes forth, a color array

Cherished Rainbow, comes my way

A Beautiful gift, of tint & hues

Wondrous sight, the image of you. 

Comfort comes, Sadness leaves

Singing birds, Melodies weave

Storm clouds all funneled away

Erasing pain from yesterdays

Airborne now, a gentle touch

Blue sky says, your love is much

Tears gone, restored hopes rise

Rains drowned, by colorful skies

A beautiful gift, of tint and hues

How I cherish the image of you.

It is wonderful to see a new "tint" in your poetry, Robert. It is also easy to see your love is returned. What is most wonderful is that you both have anchored your love in the Lord, God. Continued prayers for all of you. May you be blessed.

I have begun putting the "Crossing the Rainbow Bridge II" book together. So far we only have three stories for the book. If you know anyone who might be interested in having their story published; please contact them and tell them about the process. If you know of any web sites about pets please contact them and give them the information also.

The book information is located at:
http://www.geocities.com/trampolineone/survive3/srv601.htm

Anytime you want a PDF file on the books process, just send me an e-mail asking for a copy of the PFD of Crossing the Rainbow Bridge Book II in the subject line.

We were able to complete the first book in five weeks. Hopefully, we can get enough stories to make this book published in that same time period.
