It arched over the jagged peaks, Coasted to the valley below, And sprang back into the heavens. A double rainbow: finely wrought In shimmering sherbert like hues!. Then he grabbed some water colors And splashed them on mountains and hills In brilliant reds, greens, and golds. A beautiful sight to behold! "Very nice!" said God. The angel asked: "Did my mother see it?" God answered "Yes, she did." Bystanders stared in amazement. Double rainbows are very rare. But, to one grieving mother It was an answer to a prayer. Her desk held a crayon drawing That her little Johnny had made On his first and only day of school. Innocent zeal yielded two rainbows. So that "Mom would be twice as pleased!" The sun's batteries ran low (As the little boy would say) The vast technicolor display Soon faded away out of sight. Except in that mother's heart. Where a ray of rainbow joy nudged Into the darkness of her pain FROM LAKE MICHIGAN WITH LOVE You see those stones in that glass vase On top of the parlor bookcase? See how beautifully they shine! Admire their speckled design. They were picked for me by my Dad On the very last walk we had Along the shores of the lake. "Here are some stones for you to take; Save them for dear memory's sake. When we would fish from the pier, and You children played in the soft sand. Then while Mother prepared a snack I would carry you on my back Out to where the waves rolled in tiers. How you would hang on to my ears! I can never forget those years." Dad passed away three months later. There exist no keepsakes greater Than his DNA in my bones, And his love in those little stones Shimmering in that glass vase On top of the parlor bookcase.
