I missed the Rainbow

I was afraid,indoors and hiding,
when the thunder struck,
the rains lashed at my door,
I clinged to my pillow,
undeneath the bed,
where I hid,

I fell asleep,
the rains ceased,
the sun came out,
the birds sang,
the breeze blew cool,

I was lost in sleep,
and my fear kept me hidden,
I awoke and looked out my window,
i saw an arc seven coloured wide,
stretching across the heaven, fading,
I wish I had been up earlier,
conquered my fright,

For I could have caught the rainbow,
in all its glory,


I shall fear no more,
for the storm brings me the colours,
makes me smile,
makes my heart joyful,
I shall hide no more,
I am not afraid anymore….
