AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW
The following was submitted by Writers in the Grove member, Patti Bond.
At The End Of The Rainbow
Happiness is something to strive for
When bad things happen and
Thinking there is always a pot
Of gold at the end of the
Rainbow, which comes
From within, when dreams and
Goals merge in our lives
When we least expect,
This happens to those, who wait
And are waiting to be seen
By others, for this emotion
is for all of us to have.
