A Rainbow

God sends a rainbow after the rain,

colours of hope gleaming through pain;

bright arcs of red and indigo light,

making creation hopeful and bright.

Colours of hope dance in the sun,

while yet it rains the hope has begun;

colours of hope shine through the rain,

colours of love, nothing is vain.

When we are lonely, when we're afraid,

though it seems dark, rainbows are made;

even when life itself has to end,

God is our rainbow, God is our friend.
