WHEN I SAW THE RAINBOW

It was in the month of May, The day was looking gay, I went out to play, With my dear friends. Clouds were moving towards us, The wind brought them more, I decided to go home, But there was a heavy downpour. It was for a while, But as it stopped upto a mile, It gave me a surprise, And made me aware of a new thing in life. There was something in the sky, My friends called it a Rainbow. But to me it seemed like a row, Of people going to heaven from Earth. The rainbow I had seen for the first time, And it looked so fine, The beauty of seven colours, It's like a wonder seen from Earth. Now, I know what a rainbow is, Yet its beauty will never go, It gives joy to a child, And to a man very old.
