Rainbows

Rainbows
by Dixie Willson

We watched the rain come pouring down,
Like tears from out the sky,
Until it seemed that all the world
Could never more be dry!

But while the trees were dripping still
And all the air was rain,
The sun broke through in rainbows
And the day was bright again!

And then my mother said, "Sweet child,
It's just the same with you-
Your eyes make rainbows of your tears
When smiles come breaking through!
