The Shimmering Arc

Of Happiness

 

It has the ravishing, deep color of green

It makes Irish people stare at luck itself

It has the never-ending sea of blue

While airplanes soaring gracefully over it

It has the glorious shine of yellow sunrays

Plants, taking in every bit of light from it

It has the stunning flare of pink

It makes people long to touch it

It has the tangy smash of orange

It makes my throat dry up in wanting

It has the calm smooth rush of purple

The joyous kids beam up at it

It has the bright bold complication of red

And the glowing pot of gold at the end

A rainbow
