I'll Paint You A Rainbow

I'll 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'll cover your fears,

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

I'll 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'll 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'll etch from memory the essence of you.

I'll 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 friend.
