rainbow

I saw a rainbow

and thought of you, 

wondering if from heaven

you could see it too.

A rainbow of promise, 

the thought made me cry, 

and overcome with anger: 

there was no promise you wouldn't die.

From heaven, I wonder

if these things you can hear, 

but my pain is too much 

for a place without a tear.

I love you, my sweet baby

I don't know how to make it through

I dream of the day 

when I again will hold you.
