BEFORE LOVE PASSES BY

I asked myself when

Did God make that rainbow?

That bright one above.

It must be for you,

For He sprinkled it gently

With dashes of love.

I’ve never heard birds

That seemed quite so happy,

Or sang with hearts so full.

It isn’t surprising,

I’m just realizing

A miracle.

Don’t tell me the stars

Ever shone quite so brightly

In that velvet sky.

Or was it the blindness

That comes when you’re lonely,

Before love passes by.

For now that I’ve found you,

Love seems to surround you,

Bathed in glorious song.

So don’t tell me now,

That God made that rainbow

Before you came along.
