The Essence Of A Rainbow

By: David Reed Birmingham

If I would choose your life, so rare
To reveal to all, to lay it bare
The colors of the rainbow would I dare
Use to describe a woman, so fair

Purple, of course, would be the first
And in my mind an explosion would burst
About your passion, for which I thirst
Inspiring thought and song and verse

Blue would follow as the second hue
To describe your eyes, intense and blue
And are often the first I notice of you
They have soothed my soul a time or two

Green is third as you would guess
To describe your life, new and fresh
The change has brought out your very best
Each time I see you, I know I'm blessed

Yellow is next and it must be
About your countenance, a wonder to see
The face of an angel was given to thee
To hold the gaze of a man, 'tis me

Now it's Orange as the colors go
The sweetness you have for all to know
With just a touch of sassy glow
where from a glance or wink you show

And then there's Red, which is your love
Sent to me from Heaven above
As pure and soft as a snow-white dove
It surrounds me like a white silk glove

One color left for the rest of thee
The pot of Gold at the end, you see
In which I find your love for me
Safe and secure... may it always be!
