I will paint you a rainbow as a gift from me,

Then hang it from heaven for the whole world to see.

On a canvas of love I will cover your fears,

With a soft brush I'll dry all your tears.

I will paint you a rainbow with feelings so deep,

My stroke will be gentle, my touch you may keep.

On a palette of words I will tenderly blend,

Colorful thoughts with bright verses to send.

I will paint you a rainbow in reds, blues and gold,

Stretched like loving arms ready to enfold.

And deep in the center of the most vibrant hue,

I will etch from memory the essence of you.

I will paint you a rainbow, a bridge to my heart,

So loneliness and pain can begin to depart.

Just look up at the sky when life hits a bend,

I painted a rainbow for YOU my child, my friend.
