A rainbow

Followed me

To work today;

No matter

How many times

I tried to avoid it

There it was

Staring at me.



It filled the sky

Of gray with faint

Colors as if draping

Itself over the clouds.

The funny thing

About rainbows

Is that they rarely

Appear in clear skies.



No, those gray,

Ominous clouds

Shadow it as if

God doesn’t wait

Until the storm is

Over to blanket

Us with His promise.



I feel like this

Rainbow today

That watched me

All along my drive

Was drawn by

The hand of God

Especially for me

To remind me.



God meant to show

Me that He was

Much bigger than I

As were his will for me

And he loved me

From one end of

The rainbow’s arch

To the other.



And I knew if I trusted

Him, even though

I drove into the rain

Unsure of the way out,

He would be there

With his arch of hope

To show me the way

Through the storms.
