Rainbows

Some folks I know have narrow views Of life that close them in. And they continually await Misfortune to begin. They never see the sunshine, But they always find the rain. They've frowned so much they can't recall How laughter sounds again. Instead of seeing each new day A bright and shining thing, They face the dawn and wonder what New sorrow it will bring. They squeeze out every ounce of joy, Within the hearts of those Who seek to cheer their lonely lives. Why? Only Heaven knows. They put a price on everything, And say that "nothing's free", And end up being miserable As anyone can be. They haven't learned the secret That life is more than just Accumulating lots of things, That fall apart with rust. For life is more than gathering What someday we must leave. Each one of us needs principles In which we can believe. It's not so much the getting, If we don't know how to share. For only love can turn the rain ...to rainbows, everywhere.
