Rainbow Heart

I think I'll pick some flowers
Mom likes the pink ones best
Oh my, I saw a butterfly
And a bluebird in it's nest!

I wonder what this color is?
Is it purple or is it blue?
Oh well, I'll pick it anyway
It's so shiny with the dew

My hands are getting cold now
I wish I'd worn my gloves
Hey look there goes a ladybug
Those things my brother loves!

I think mom's baking cookies
I smelled them when I left
She probably wants me home now
Oh look, a place to sit

My shoes are getting muddy
It sure did rain last night
What's that off in the distance?
A many colored stripe

The colors make me happy
Even though some clouds are dark
I think I'll take that rainbow
And keep it in my heart

I posted this on a poetry thread about a year ago but since I like it, I'll post it again.
