Rainbows and Leprechauns
Far beyond the clouds and thunder,
after rains have washed it clean
there’s a rainbow showing pathways
through the glens and meadows green
Carpeted with lovely shamrocks
near the trickling of a stream
at the entrance to the forest
lively men all dressed in green
dance the jig with wives and chilren
looking neither here nor yon
keep your eye a’trained upon them
if you blink they will be gone.
Leprechauns of Irish glory
magic wonder for us to see
there is gold a’neath the rainbow
waiting there for you and me.
Have you ever reached that rainbow?
No, you haven’t , Nor have I.
But I will one day I promise,
‘less I forget and blink my eye.
