CHASING RAINBOWS

 

The rain had stopped…the sun was about to set…

It was the perfect time for a rainbow chaser such as I…

to watch and wait for that multi-colored arch to form across the sky.


The conditions couldn’t be more perfect…the sun setting after a storm…

but as I waited…as I searched the sky…the rainbow never formed.

 

Still…I am undeterred…the next time the conditions are right

to the sky I will be facing….

For the next time I just might see that rainbow I am chasing.


I do not know why sometimes…when everything seems perfect…

when the conditions are just right….

sometimes I won’t see a rainbow…while other times…I might.


I suppose that’s what keeps me chasing rainbows…

all throughout the years….

waiting to feel the joy and celebrate the moment one appears.


In some ways life is a lot like chasing rainbows…

Sometimes conditions are perfect to reach whatever goal we’ve sought…

and sometimes we will catch that rainbow…

while other time…we will not.


But fear not…for anytime we miss a rainbow…

all is not as bad as it may seem….

because in between the rainbows we catch…

and the rainbows we do not…

there is room for our wishes, hopes and dreams.
