1. Rainbow Like Our Life
by Vijay Gupta
Rainbow like our life
Rainbow, rainbow, rainbow is in the sky.
Children were clapping & jumping with joy.
I also heard the roar and saw
the wonder of seven colour’s rainbow in the sky.
It was glowing & was giving coolness to our eyes.
Suddenly it was disappeared from the sky and
then I realize that the rainbow is like
the life of a human-being.
It’s colours are like the colours of our life.
Colours of life as joy, sadness,
Kindness, honesty, attraction, haterdness & love
are as the seven colours of a rainbow
And I realize that rainbow is just
like the life of a human being.
2. Inspired
by Matthew Williamson
I’m continually inspired by nature, and
The rainbow is one of nature’s greatest optical phenomenon.
The sighting of a rainbow never fails
To bring a smile to people’s faces.
They signify optimism and positivity:
With them comes the sunshine after the rain.
3. The Rainbow Connection
by Shauntae Taylor
The Rainbow Connection helped me find my way
The Rainbow Connection is the best may I say.
The Rainbow Connection is where dreams come true.
In this connection friends are true.
The Rainbow Connection, is where Fantasy becomes reality
And reality becomes actuality
Anyone can find the rainbow connection. You just have to
believe and forget what you know about reality.
4. Dark Clouds
by Catherine Pulsifer
Think of your life and your darkest days
Nothing seems to work out, in any way
But there is always hope, we should not doubt
Say a prayer rather than pout.
When you see a rainbow realize the clouds before
Were dark ones and wet ones with no open door.
But then the rainbow appears and our hopes seem to soar
We know there is a God who loves us even more.
Rainbows are a symbol of hope and love
Sent to us from God above.
He sent the rainbow so we could see
Bad times will pass like the wind in the tree.
Encouraging us with hope and cheer
Realizing that God thinks of us as dear.
Look at that rainbow in the sky
Give thanks and know that God is nearby!
5. Without A Rainbow
by Anonymous
When rain doesn’t stop
We need a rainbow
To fill the sky with its colours
Which signifies way is clear for light
Of different colours.
Varies which does in inviduality
That a rainbow has
Since such a rainbow you are
Of heart of mine
Which I needed when able I ain’t to look up
And face the world
As you hold the key to heart of mine
And that is why I call you Rainbow of My Life.
That glows when I appear faded
So you know now I am empty and drained
Without a rainbow like you.
6. When I Look at The Rainbow
by Vincent G. Mead
Lord when I look at the Rainbow you have placed in sky so
blue, it reminds me that all your promises are true
Your Rainbow reminds me that those who believe on you
are few, yet you have called us your little Ewe
Lord when I look at the Rainbow I see it’s hue, it reminds
me that your love for us true
Your Rainbow in sky so blue, reminds me to keep praying
through
Lord when I look at the Rainbow it reminds me of your
promise to all of your creatures some of whom are of
different features
Your Rainbow and it’s many colors reminds me that it
represents some whom are called colored
Lord when I look at your Rainbow and see how it’s colors
are bright, it reminds me to do what is right
Your Rainbow I have never seen at night, this reminds me
to stay in the light
Lord when I look at your Rainbow it reminds me of your grief
because of our unbelief
Your Rainbow have no pot of gold, but your wonderful story
of love it has told
Lord when I Look at your Rainbow it reminds that you
promised to never again destroy the World with a flood
Your Rainbow to me is a sign of your love it represents
your Son’s life Blood
7. And Yet Another Dream
by David Gerardino
Feel like dancing under a rainbow, feel like singing happy
songs, but my rainbow, no my rainbow, wont shine for me.
Feel like going to the ocean, building castle in the sand.
but my rainbow, my rainbow, wont shine for me.
8. Rainbow Season
by Anonymous
When I first came to the city
the rainbow paint the sky
It’s in a little bus station
where I heard the rainbow song
a beautiful mother singing to her little three sons
And then rainbow shows day after day
with God telling me everything’s gonna be so right
Oh, beautiful rainbow, beautiful sign
just letting people feel right
It is in this rainbow season
that love fills friends’ hearts
some to express, some to hide
some to broadcast, some are shy
With the rainbow in the sky
You shouldn’t hide and you shouldn’t be shy
Nobody’s gonna laugh at your lovely lines
Oh, beautiful rainbow, beautiful sign
Forever having her by my side.
9. The Rainbow
by Lillian E. Curtis
Oh, what a glorious sight it is,
When the sun is growing low,
To look far down in the west
And see the beauteous rainbow.
I love to look at the rainbow
Not merely because it is pretty to see,
But because it reminds me of God s promise
And all He has been to me.
At any time I love to see the rainbow,
But I think it by far a prettier sight,
And love to gaze at it longer
When ’tis growing nearly night.
It reminds me of something cheerful
The beautiful, beautiful rainbow;
And what a pretty sight it is
Just at night, when the sun is low.
Other subjects, than this, to write upon,
To me far easier seem,
And of this one I should not have thought,
But, for my mother’s dream.
Beautiful Rainbow Poems
Rainbows are a sight to behold, filling us with wonder and joy. Here are some poems about beautiful rainbow that capture the essence of this natural phenomenon.
1. Red, Yellow, Green and Blue
by Catherine Pulsifer
Red, yellow, green, and blue
Across the sky, they give a clue
Sometimes turquoise and purple
Sometimes single and maybe a double.
They make us stop and pause with awe
The beauty of them drops our jaw
How brilliant is the sky
The beauty we can’t deny.
And at the end of the rainbow
We would like to follow
To see if there is a pot of gold
That is what we have been told.
Be thankful for the beauty of the sky
Rainbows and the clouds that float by
Take a moment, stop and look
It can change your outlook!
2. Dreams Color Rainbow
by Anonymous
The rainbow of colors
So merry and bright
Each color has a purpose
Even black and white
The rainbow is so full
Of radiance and gleam
It sparkles and shines
Through every little beam
After a storm
A rainbow you’ll see
With all the glaring colors
A rainbow there’ll be
Then at the end
Your dream will come true
A pot of gold awaiting
All just for you.
3. The Rainbow
by James Thomson
Moist, bright, and green, the landscape laughs around.
Full swell the woods; their every music wakes,
Mix’d in wild concert, with the warbling brooks
Increased, the distant bleatings of the hills,
And hollow lows responsive from the vales,
Whence, blending all, the sweeten’d zephyr springs.
Meantime, refracted from yon eastern cloud,
Bestriding earth, the grand ethereal bow
Shoots up immense; and every hue unfolds,
In fair proportion running from the red
To where the violet fades into the sky.
Here, awful Newton, the dissolving clouds
Form, fronting on the sun, thy showery prism;
And to the sage-instructed eye unfold
The various twine of light, by thee disclosed
From the white mingling maze. Not so the boy;
He wondering views the bright enchantment bend,
Delightful, o’er the radiant fields, and runs
To catch the falling glory; but amazed
Beholds th’ amusive arch before him fly,
Then vanish quite away.
4. Sweet Colors of Rainbow
by Mula Veereswara Rao
I raised the elbow
I have seen the rainbow
It is the celebration of sky
My heart vibrates with joy
Rainbow happens on special moment
Busy life misses it in the speed movement
Waiting for rainbow,
In the raindrops Meadow,
Sky is not showing grace
Rainbow is not in trace
Rainbow with seven colors,
Appears to my beloved,
stays somewhere,
melts in the infinite sky!
Heart felts it’s gay
Rainbow is not mirage
It leaves image in my soul!
5. On This Long Storm the Rainbow Rose
by Emily Dickinson
On this long storm the Rainbow rose—
On this late Morn—the Sun—
The clouds—like listless Elephants—
Horizons—straggled down—
The Birds rose smiling, in their nests—
The gales—indeed—were done—
Alas, how heedless were the eyes—
On whom the summer shone!
The quiet nonchalance of death—
No Daybreak—can bestir—
The slow—Archangel’s syllables
Must awaken her!
6. The Kingfisher
by William Henry Davies
It was the Rainbow gave thee birth,
And left thee all her lovely hues;
And, as her mother’s name was Tears,
So runs it in my blood to choose
For haunts the lonely pools, and keep
In company with trees that weep.
Go you and, with such glorious hues,
Live with proud peacocks in green parks;
On lawns as smooth as shining glass,
Let every feather show its marks;
Get thee on boughs and clap thy wings
Before the windows of proud kings.
Nay, lovely Bird, thou art not vain;
Thou hast no proud, ambitious mind;
I also love a quiet place
That’s green, away from all mankind;
A lonely pool, and let a tree
Sigh with her bosom over me.
7. The Rainbow
by Vine Colby
Whose doorway was it, in the sordid street,
That gave us shelter from the sudden rain, –
Two vagrant sparrows on a dripping branch,
Waiting a moment to spread wing again?
The beggar children danced through pavement pook
Barefoot and joyous, splashing at their will;
The rain washed green that dusty sycamore
And straws swirled wildly down the gutter’s rill.
Fast-breathing from the run, our hands still clasped.
We leaned out laughing, shaking free our hair
Of dewy drops, while still the clouds poured down
A freshness that made heavenly the air.
Then we both saw, above the sodden world.
The Rainbow like a miracle appear,
And you said, whispering, ” Oh, kiss me once
Before it fades! ” – Kiss me then quickly, Dear!”
One warm sweet touch of lips – then forth we went
Oblivious of all the rain and wet.
To-day I saw a rainbow after rain. . . .
My heart remembered then – does yours forget?

1. The Rainbow
by Paula Glynn
I love the rainbow with its shades of green and blue,
I love the way the rainbow tells itself to you.
I love the way the rainbow lights up a sunny sky,
I love the way the rainbow tells of truths that are a lie.
I love the rainbow with its every brightly coloured shade,
I love the way the rainbow lights up a sunny day.
2. A Promise
by Anonymous
A rainbow is a promise of:
sunshine after rain
calm after storms
joy after sadness
peace after pain
love after loss.
3. The Rainbow Never Tells Me
The rainbow never tells me
That gust and storm are by,
Yet is she more convincing
Than Philosophy.
My flowers turn from Forums—
Yet eloquent declare
What Cato couldn’t prove me
Except the birds were here!
4. Money Cannot Buy
by Catherine Pulsifer
I never fail to be inspired
By the rainbow colors in the sky
They slowly do appear
Then their brilliance becomes so clear.
The simple things in life can be inspiring
If we just stop and start pondering
Money, riches cannot buy
A single rainbow in the sky!
5. My Heart Leaps Up
by William Wordsworth
My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
6. Promise
by Anonymous
There is a rainbow in the sky,
Upon the arch where tempests trod;
God wrote it ere the world was dry
It is the autograph of God.
7. The Rainbow
by Emilie Poulsson
Magical, magical weather
When sunshine and rain meet together!
They weave of the drops and the radiance soft
A glorious rainbow that arches aloft,
A rainbow whose wonderful colors amaze,
A shimmering rainbow that fades as we gaze.
Long Rainbow Poems
This section contains long rainbow poetry that explores the beauty of the spectrum of colors. It celebrates the joy and hopes that a rainbow brings and the many emotions it can evoke.
1. The Rainbow
by Charles Lamb
After the tempest in the sky
How sweet yon rainbow to the eye!
Come, my Matilda, now while some
Few drops of rain are yet to come,
In this honeysuckle bower
Safely sheltered from the shower,
We may count the colours o’er.-
Seven there are, there are no more;
Each in each so finely blended,
Where they begin, or where are ended,
The finest eye can scarcely see.
A fixed thing it seems to be;
But, while we speak, see how it glides
Away, and now observe it hides
Half of its perfect arch-now we
Scarce any part of it can see.
What is colour? If I were
A natural philosopher,
I would tell you what does make
This meteor every colour take:
But an unlearned eye may view
Nature’s rare sights, and love them too.
Whenever I a rainbow see,
Each precious tint is dear to me;
For every colour find I there,
Which flowers, which fields, which ladies wear:
My favourite green, the grass’s hue,
And the fine deep violet-blue,
And the pretty pale blue-bell,
And the rose I love so well,
All the wondrous variations
Of the tulips, pinks, carnations,
This woodbine here both flower and leaf.
‘Tis a truth that’s past belief,
That every flower and every tree,
And every living thing we see,
Every face which we espy,
Every cheek and every eye,
In all their tints, in every shade,
Are from the rainbow’s colours made.
2. The Place Where the Rainbow Ends
by Paul Laurence Dunbar
There’s a fabulous story
Full of splendor and glory,
That Arabian legends transcends;
Of the wealth without measure,
The coffers of treasure,
At the place where the rainbow ends.
Oh, many have sought it,
And all would have bought it,
With the blood we so recklessly spend;
But none has uncovered,
The gold, nor discovered
The spot at the rainbow’s end.
They have sought it in battle,
And e’en where the rattle
Of dice with man’s blasphemy blends;
But howe’er persuasive,
It still proves evasive,
This place where the rainbow ends.
I own for my pleasure,
I yearn not for treasure,
Though gold has a power it lends;
And I have a notion,
To find without motion,
The place where the rainbow ends.
The pot may hold pottage,
The place be a cottage,
That a humble contentment defends,
Only joy fills its coffer,
But spite of the scoffer,
There’s the place where the rainbow ends.
Where care shall be quiet,
And love shall run riot,
And I shall find wealth in my friends;
Then truce to the story,
Of riches and glory;
There’s the place where the rainbow ends.
3. To the Rainbow
by Thomas Campbell
Triumphal arch, that fill’st the sky
When storms prepare to part,
I ask not proud philosophy
To teach me what thou art.
Still seem as to my childhood’s sight,
A midway station given,
For happy spirits to alight
Betwixt the earth and heaven.
Can all that optics teach unfold
Thy form to please me so,
As when I dreamed of gems and gold
Hid in thy radiant bow?
And yet, fair bow, no fabling dreams,
But words of the Most High,
Have told why first thy robe of beams
Was woven in the sky.
When o’er the green, undeluged earth
Heaven’s covenant thou didst shine,
How came the world’s gray fathers forth
To watch thy sacred sign!
And when its yellow lustre smiled
O’er mountains yet untrod,
Each mother held aloft her child
To bless the bow of God.
Methinks, thy jubilee to keep,
The first-made anthem rang
On earth, delivered from the deep,
And the first poet sang.
The earth to thee her incense yields,
The lark thy welcome sings,
When, glittering in the freshened fields,
The snowy mushroom springs.
How glorious is thy girdle cast
O’er mountain, tower, and town,
Or mirrored in the ocean vast,
A thousand fathoms down!
As fresh in yon horizon dark,
As young thy beauties seem,
As when the eagle from the ark
First sported in thy beam.
For, faithful to its sacred page,
Heaven still rebuilds thy span;
Nor lets the type grow pale with age,
That first spoke peace to man.
4. Look for The Rainbows
by Trina Graves
Storms come into our lives
Some mighty, others small
As a metaphor, or weather
‘This too shall pass,’ we recall
For no storm lasts forever
There will be a brighter day
Keep Hope and Faith at Heart
Aligned with Positivity, stay
But, even storms have rainbows
Depicting colour and Light
A symbol of Hope we can see
When we look up to the sight
Raising our eyes and our Spirit
A simple, beautiful thing
To the young and the old alike
It makes all our Hearts sing
We all know of the tales
For centuries have been told
At the end of a rainbow
You’ll find a pot of gold
Of course, this is nonsense
If you perceive it literally
But gold is not the only treasure
We all know this instinctively
The storm raging all around
Our world in 2020
Bringing chaos and fear
We can all clearly see
The children, our treasures
Are showing us the way
To look through it all
With Hope’s colourful ray
Making their own rainbows
And sticking to their window
Sharing in Unity, at home
The streets are all aglow
Isolated, but coming together
In a simple, yet joyous way
The children, our teachers
Of tomorrow and today
Our world is constantly changing
At a great speed right now
If we open our Heart and mind
We can perceive in Truth just how
Compassion and beauty abound
Flowing even through all the dread
We will rise and be Pure Sovereign
No matter what is being said
We have reached the apex
In our world of duality
Now Love and Light is here
To bring Peace, our destiny
Rainbows will now be seen
More magnificent than ever before
Even without storm or rain
A symbol of Light forever more
Look for the rainbows
All of the children have made
Adorning their place of sanctuary
As at home they’ve all stayed
Look for the rainbows
We shall see in our skies
Heaven becoming closer
As we see through all of the lies
5. The Rainbow
by Felicia Hemans
Soft falls the mild, reviving shower
From April’s changeful skies,
And rain-drops bend each trembling flower
They tinge with richer dyes.
Soon shall their genial influence call
A thousand buds to day,
Which, waiting but their balmy fall,
In hidden beauty lay.
E’en now full many a blossom’s bell
With fragrance fills the shade;
And verdure clothes each grassy dell,
In brighter tints arrayed.
But mark! what arch of varied hue
From heaven to earth is bowed?
Haste, ere it vanish, haste to view
The Rainbow in the cloud.
How bright its glory! there behold
The emerald’s verdant rays,
The topaz blends its hue of gold
With the deep ruby’s blaze.
Yet not alone to charm thy sight
Was given the vision fair;–
Gaze on that arch of colored light,
And read God’s mercy there.
It tells us that the mighty deep,
Fast by th’ Eternal chained,
No more o’er earth’s domains shall sweep,
Awful and unrestrained.
It tells that seasons, heat and cold,
Fixed by his sovereign will,
Shall, in their course, bid man behold
Seed-time and harvest still;
That still the flower shall deck the field,
When vernal zephyrs blow;
That still the vine its fruit will yield,
When autumn sun-beams glow.
Then, child of that fair earth! which yet
Smiles with each charm endowed,
Bless thou His name, whose mercy set
The Rainbow in the cloud!
6. The Rainbow
by Anonymous
I sometimes have thought in my loneliest hours,
That lie on my heart like the dew on the flowers,
Of a ramble I took one bright afternoon,
When my heart was as light as a blossom in June.
The green earth was moist with the late fallen showers;
The breeze fluttered down and blew open the flowers;
While a single white cloud to its haven of rest,
On the white wing of peace floated off in the west
As I threw back my tresses to catch the cool breeze
That scattered the raindrops and dimpled the seas,
Far up the blue sky a fair rainbow unrolled
Its soft-tinted pinions of purple and gold.
‘Twas born in a moment, yet, quick as its birth,
It has stretched to the uttermost ends of the earth;
And, fair as an angel, it floated all free,
With a wing on the earth and a wing on the sea.
How calm was the ocean! how gentle its swell!
Like a woman’s soft bosom, it rose and it fell;
While its light sparkling waves, stealing laughingly o’er,
When they saw the fair rainbow, knelt down to the shore.
No sweet hymn ascended, no murmur of prayer,
Yet I felt that the spirit of worship was there,
And bent my young head in devotion and love
‘Neath the form of the angel that floated above.
How wide was the sweep of its beautiful wings!
How boundless its circle! how radiant its rings!
If I looked on the sky, ’twas suspended in air;
If I looked on the ocean, the rainbow was there;
Thus forming a girdle as brilliant and whole
As the thoughts of the rainbow that circled my soul;
Like the wing of the Deity, calmly unfurled,
It bent from the cloud, and encircled the world.
There are moments, I think, when the spirit receives
Whole volumes of thought on its unwritten leaves;
When the folds of the heart in a moment unclose,
Like the innermost leaves from the heart of a rose;
And thus, when the rainbow had passed from the sky,
The thoughts it awoke were too deep to pass by;
It left my full soul like the wing- of a dove,
And fluttering with pleasure, and fluttering with love.
I know that each moment of rapture or pain
But shortens the links in life’s mystical chain;
I know that my form, like that bow from the wave,
May pass from the earth and lie cold in the grave;
Yet oh! when death’s shadows my bosom uncloud,
When I shrink from the thought of the coffin and shroud,
May Hope, like the rainbow, my spirit unfold
In her beautiful pinions of purple and gold.

1. When You See A Rainbow
by Catherine Pulsifer
When you see a rainbow
The colors they do show
They blend together so
Some even seem to glow.
The first rainbow to appear
Was brilliant and so clear
It was God’s promise of no more rain
A promise that still remains.
God’s promises hold true
To this day they continue.
So when a rainbow you do see
Thank God and happy be!
2. The Rainbows
by James Baldwin
Out of water, clear and white,
Who has built a bridge so bright?
Light the fairy arches rise,
Tinted with their glowing dyes—
Gold and red and azure blue,
Like the sunset’s rarest hue.
Right against the dusky sky
Shines the path-way, fair and high,
From the valley, cool and green,
Where the floating mists are seen,
To the mountain far away
In the distance, dim and gray.
Busy fancies, strange and sweet,
Throng the bridge with fairy feet,
Crossing to the wondrous land
There the cloudy castles stand;
Till the gray mists slowly fall
Like a curtain over all!
3. Time for Rainbows
by Catherine Pulsifer
If you are looking for a pot of gold
You could end up working until you are very old
But you would be missing the joys of life and perhaps feel some sorrow
As you must make time to see the colors in the rainbow.
Life goes by so very fast,
No matter what we do it will not last.
The same is true of the rainbow colors for
They disappear and you see them no more.
So work hard but also allow
Time for the little things that give you a wow.
Rainbows can be seen by those who
Focus on living a life with balance, that’s true!
4. Trace the Rainbow Through the Rain
by George Matheson
Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to Thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in Thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.
5. Beautiful Rainbow
by Sarah Hale
O beautiful rainbow – all woven of light!
There’s not in thy tissue one shadow of night:
Heaven surely is open when thou dost appear;
And, bending above thee, the angels draw near
And sing, – The rainbow! the rainbow!
The smile of God is here.
6. Look for Rainbows
by Catherine Pulsifer
Yellow, blue, orange, and red
Are the colors overhead
When after the rain does end
A rainbow God does send.
In your life look for the rainbows
No matter the challenges and lows
They are there waiting for you
Keep moving forward, don’t be blue.
Storms we all face
But keeping moving with grace
You will see your rainbow appear
The storm will be over and the sky will clear.
7. Rainbow Bridge
by Steve and Diane Bodofsky
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over together.
Rainbow Poems for Kids
Rainbows are a magical sight for kids, and what better way to share the wonder of this colorful phenomenon than through poetry? Here are some rainbow poems for children to enjoy.
1. The Colors of the Rainbow
by Xyomara Knowles
Red, orange, yellow and blue, green, purple and
indigo too. The colors of the rainbow. The colors of
the rainbow. Red, orange, yellow and blue, green,
purple and indigo too. The colors of the rainbow.
The colors of the rainbow.
The rain makes everything dark and grey. It makes
everything wet and ruins our day. But after the rain
comes a shining light. It shines in the sky so very
bright. The colors of the rainbow. The colors of the
rainbow.
I am made through light and water. Those are my
parents. They are my mother and father. If you
want to see me, look down in a puddle or up in the
sky. I reflect down low and I shine very high. The
colors of the rainbow. The colors of the rainbow.
People are so very similar to colors. We are so
beautiful on our own. But when we all come
together to be as one, we create something more
wonderful than anyone has ever known.
Red, orange, yellow and blue, green, purple and
indigo too. The colors of the rainbow. The colors of
the rainbow. Red, orange, yellow and blue, green,
purple and indigo too. The colors of the rainbow.
The colors of the rainbow.
2. Play With Rainbow
by Syed Karim
Play with Rainbow, wear the Rainbow
Ride the Rainbow high and low
Spread the color of Rainbow wherever you go
Paint with Rainbow, create a magnificent show
Share Rainbow with neighbor, family and friend
Give the needy a helping hand, reach out and extend
Dance with Rainbow, sing with Rainbow
Let the Rainbow shine through
Rainbow comes from Sun Shine and rain seven colors true
It paints the sky with seven colors and dazzling hue
It bridges the Earth and the beyond for a short moment
Arched, end to end, never changes, same as past and present
I wonder if there is Rainbow in the other world
Where we go when we pass on
Is there day, night or dawn
What is a Rainbow, how it is born
3. I Can Sing A Rainbow
by Anonymous

Sing a rainbow
Sing along with me
Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue
I can sing a rainbow
Sing a rainbow
Sing a rainbow too

1. Look for Me in Rainbows
by Conn Bernard
Time for me to go now, I won’t say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky.
In the morning sunrise when all the world is new,
Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.
Time for me to leave you, I won’t say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky.
In the evening sunset, when all the world is through,
Just look for me and love me, and I’ll be close to you.
It won’t be forever, the day will come and then
My loving arms will hold you, when we meet again.
Time for us to part now, we won’t say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky.
Every waking moment, and all your whole life through
Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.
Just wish me to be near you,
And I’ll be there with you.
2. Rainbows on the Moon
by Michael Ashby, Sidmouth
There are rainbows on the moon
There are clouds in outer space
The night has started mourning
Since I passed away too soon
There are rainbows on the moon
There are colours crying in tiers
The solar wind is wailing
Since I passed away too soon
I shine with the Northern Lights
I shine with the waning moon
I shine with the shooting stars
Since I passed away too soon
Now one zillion candles
Are shining all around me
One zillion and one candles
For my life on earth to see
