IF I COULD CATCH A RAINBOW FOR WAHIDA

Aaah,

A poem....

How the beauty seeps slowly into the soul to soothe it without one knowing.

May I then,
interest you in this short one, not written by me,
but one which I hope,
will be the lullaby to stop the pain that i've caused on a sunny day,
on a day blessed by god from time unknown to man (friday),
with rainbowsrunning riots everywhere

And I, tsk,tsk,
so caught up in mind games,
had hurt someone I really shouldn't

I'm sorry WAH!




If I Could Catch a Rainbow

If I could catch a rainbow,
I would do it, just for you,
And, share with you, its beauty, on the days you're feeling blue.

If I could,
I would build a mountain, you could call your very own.
A place to find serenity, a place just to be alone.

If I could,
I would take your troubles, and toss them into the sea.

But, all these things,
I'm finding, are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain,
or catch a rainbow fair;
but, let me be, what I know best,

A Friend,
who's always there.
I promise to defend you, should the occasion ever rise,

And,
I promise to wipe away the tears,
which might stream from your weeping eyes.

Let me be the trusted Friend,
the one that you know best.

I will never leave you,
on that,
you can surely rest
