In all the small moments you have opened your heart to notice a miracle, the rainbow will always present itself in the form of my father’s smile.

“You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold, you're daddy's little girl to have and hold…”

My dad sang that song to me as I sat on his lap as a small child. When it came his time to pass, I stood to eulogize him .

The last line; I know just where to find you, at the end of the rainbow.

Memories and miracles.

Thank you.

You do not realise how much you bring to me, and to I think so many others (though I do not want to assume, but it looks as though that is the case). Thank you. I'll be watching for rainbows, and small miracles, now.

Rainbows are far from ordinary events. I have been smitten by them as a visual art. I even captured a double rainbow on my parent's outside patio with an iPhone. There is something inherently beautiful yet enigmatic about the process involved in Nature's alchemy. Of course, the pot of gold being a wee bit Irish is the token at the bend of gravity's rainbow. It is mythic as well as an object of spiritual awareness. Thanks little voices for opening the soul to these precious miracles. Poetry seems to examine how life's daily rituals are indeed human and endless.

There are many things in nature which have no practical purpose; this is what you trying to say in all of this; for instance, a rose, or a cascade. But still we wonder when we look or gaze at either. Yes, the rainbow, and you make some very good points. But not quite. To a believer or Christian the rainbow is not a meaningless thing. It is a remainder of God that He is with the world; that He will never again will destroy the world as when he did with the flood in the time of Noah. But that is a different story and it does not take from what you are trying to say in all of this.

By the way, I invite you to read my poetry. You might find some poems interesting and thus worthy of your time.
