The day was dark and dreary.

Black clouds were all around.

Lightning flashed, thunder rolled,

as torrents of rain fell to the ground.

I had so many tasks at work.

I felt I would never get done.

Days like this will get me down,

for I always miss the sun.

The sunlight brightens up my day

as it lightens up my soul.

Dark and dreary days like this

always make me feel so cold.

I did not remember God’s promise.

That He is only a prayer away.

I should have stopped and asked Him

to help me face this dreary day.

When at last my day was over

and I headed home in the rain.

I prayed, dear Lord, oh lift me up.

Please send sunlight once again.

And just before I reached my home,

an amazing sight caught my eye.

For there in the most brilliant colors

lay a double rainbow in the sky.

In all my years upon this earth,

I’ve never seen such a gorgeous sight.

The colors were all so magnificent.

They could’ve lit up the darkest night.

I knew that God had heard my prayer.

And I know you will agree.

He showed His wondrous love and care

with the rainbow He painted for me.

This actually happened on 02-19-02.
