Rainbow's gold

Rainbow's gold

By May Kwek

People often say

That a rainbow has gold

And for a long time curiosity

Has held on to my soul

Is there really gold?

Solid, hard and cold?

If so I must find it 

And with my own eyes behold it

And so I set out on this quest

To find a rainbow only the best!

And now I see a rainbow before me

Oh my it certainly is a beauty!

All the seven colours

Curved in a perfect arch

What a joy Noah must have had

To have seen this from the ark

But I must not dally

My goal is now before me

Rainbow's gold! Rainbow's gold!

Now my excitement I must control!

Eagerly I run up

To seize this treasure in my hands

But to my surprise

The rainbow vanished at the end!

"Where is it? Where is it?"

I pound hard at the dirt

"Where is it? Where is it?"

Now my hands really hurt!

But the truth is dawning on me

And the light I finally see

That many a wishful dream

Is simply that-A dream!
