My Rainbow

Our troubles are ever growing, ever changing, like the harsh torrent of a hurricane
Your problems and mine together, one after another like an endless rain
But together we can clear the rain clouds and let the sun shine through
Because together we are strong enough to clear the skies and return the once beautiful view
I’ll be the sun that shines bright just for you, whenever you’re cold and alone
I’ll be the downpour that washes away all your worries and fears of the unknown
I’ll be the thunder that echoes through the silence that you hate so much
For you I’ll be the gentle wind that you can reach out and touch
Together our love will blossom like a new spring rose
Shielded from the downpour of our problems as it’s beauty grows
Without you I am like thunder without lightning
An echo with no purpose is truly frightening
You’ll be the earthquake that shatters all of my looming sadness
You’ll be the serene mist that keeps me from madness
You’ll be the wildfire that ignites in me heated passion like nothing I’ve ever felt before
To me you’ll always be my rainbow, so divine and beautiful as to make me forget all my woes forever and more
No matter how hard the rain beats down on us, I’ll keep you dry
And no matter how wild the winds may get, I know I’ll never have to say goodbye
Because the worst storm in the world couldn’t keep me away from you
And even the brightest stars on the clearest night could never compare…
To my beautiful Rainbow
