Analysis of A Rainbow Afternoon



A Rainbow Afternoon

The sky was sort of cloudy
With some sunshine
Peeking through
The beauty of
That summer day
On a rainbow afternoon

A sign of God's presence
A promise that He made
He will never leave us
He will be with us always

A rainbow afternoon
How special can it be?
A rainbow afternoon
For you and for me
