Painted Rainbows
I wish I could adorn your path,
paint rainbows in your sky.
And when the journey gets too rough,
I’d give you wings to fly.
I wish I could prevent the tears,
make troubles go away.
Lift up the sail in stormy seas,
add sunshine to your day.
I wish that I could heal the wounds
and shelter you from pain.
Provide the tools that you will need,
umbrellas in the rain.
But all these wishes that I dream,
illusions that are grand.
For you must learn to walk and fall
before you learn to stand.
All I can do is stand near by
as you go through life’s road.
If things should get too heavy then
I’ll help you with your load.
From all the struggles you will grow.
From failures you’ll get wise.
But still sometimes I wish I could
paint rainbows in your skies.
