They say you can’t have a rainbow
Without a little rain
But you knew a secret
A pretty little crystal
And a ray of sunlight
A rainbow indoors
On a sunny day
You also knew why the sky was blue
You would tell me every day
Every morning you would find the little rainbow
The one on the wall
You would show me your other rocks
The ones you made from salt
The ones that looked like gold but weren’t
The smooth multi-colored ones
The slice of colorful rock
Not everything is as it seems
Rocks that fly on the ground to play a game
Certain spot it lands, certain amount of points
I never really did understand that game
And when it rained
We would get an umbrella
And continue walking anyway
Nothing could stop us
We would go hiking in the woods
Across little streams with glittering sunlit rocks
It became a collection
And then while we were at the park
A rainbow might make an appearance
You would point up at the sky
Smile on your face
Marveling at the little miracles of life
Maybe real rainbows are made with rain
But you knew a secret
I still have that pretty little crystal
Now it makes rainbows on my kitchen cabinets
A little piece of magic
A little piece of you
