Something beautiful touched my life
That place we all lock away
after childhood stings us
I let him into this
wonderous place inside of me
He found both the rainbow inside of me
and my true self

The self that as a child ran
until he couldn't remember
Only a little boy
would color a rainbow in darkness
The man's world was black and white
with shades of grey

The muse came slowly into my life
bringing light into the darkest corners
Filling every sense of the man
with the fear of the child
Even he could not hide from the sunshine
and the rainbow inhis heart

If I stay here a little bit longer
I will find the pot of gold
at the end of the rainbow of my life
More valuable than any tangible possession
More precious than the rarest gem
fluttering in a circle
the colors of love surround me

Amazed to find love
Safe at last
I can simply enjoy the beauty of the night
because he put sunshine
in the darkness of my heart

Touch me and know love
Touch him and know his love for me
Touch us and know why God put us here

Love elevates mere mortals to within God's sight
Perhaps that is why I think of him as

my hero
              
           my lover

                         my friend
