    Poem Commentary

    JN 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. For the longest time, I thought I was living a moral life. I listened to every word my parents said and whatever they deemed wrong, I thought it was wrong also. I didn't have the courage to be a woman or to stand on my own two feet because I was always depending on someone else. However, with every birthday and every year I spend as a wife....I realize that Jesus is true life. My life source does not flow from anyone but Him.

    Under the Rainbow

    Black and white was the
    Sun that ruled all of my days,
    Until one day, the rain poured
    Down on my heart and washed
    All those colors away-now droplets
    Of red, blue, green and yellow
    Pink and aqua marine showed me the
    Kind of life I was living was
    Not how things should be....
    Suddenly, the world is much bigger
    Than my mind could ever dream of!

    Can I place the rainbow
    In a box and say,
    "This is where you belong
     Never come out but stay
    Here inside my heart" ?

    I am letting go of all
    The places, people I used to know-
    I am changing this life
    And living under the Rainbows
    Of truth and light-

    My future is bright, clear and free!
    No more black and white for me,
    I am living out my true colors-

    I love this postitive piece...we do see life as black and white too often and realizing the colors are so vast and immense is a wonderful wonderful feeling....this is so beautiful.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
