Poem Artwork


Rainbows
by CJ Heck

Today I saw a rainbow
with bright colors in the sky.
I couldn’t see its start or end,
just its middle, way up high.

Mom said that it’s our promise,
that the world will still go on,
and God always will forgive us
though sometimes we do wrong.

I guess I understand it,
and I’m glad it works that way.
I just wish I could see rainbows
up there every single day!

My Great Grampa was an artist.
They sold his paintings everywhere.
He died a long, long time ago.
He's prob'ly having fun up there

or he might be getting ready
to come back down to earth
and he'll be another artist
when he grows up after birth.

But maybe he might wanna stay
and teach the souls up there
how to do what he could do
as my Great Grampa down here.

Those rainbows sure are pretty
even though they're all the same,
hey, Great Grampa should teach God ...
He should always sign his name!

God did make a promise after the great flood that he would not destroy man and he put his bow in the sky. Of course scientists will argue the natural effects of the rainbow, but I have faith that it is God's signature that life will go on. Thank you God for your heartfelt promise.

This is written very well and I like the light tone and the images you have created here. I can imagine the grampa actually doing all those paintings that are everywhere. Thank you CJ for sharing.

May the Lord Bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and walk by your side. With love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister Barbie.

Could it be that the rainbow is the Creator's signature? :)

A rainbow is God smiling down upon us after the dark storm showing
us that faith is like all the colors of the rainbow and light
defeats the darkness if you look up and believe...

How splendid, CJ!

Children are so literal, and pure-hearted...just like you, who impeccably captures their matter-of-fact awe and good sense! I truly love and appreciate all of your children's work, CJ. You have a lovely Gift!

Yep, if God doesn't sign his name there might be a copyright infringement. But what's he going to do? Sue God? This poem is interesting in the fact that you have a child who obviously has watched their Great Grandpa paint and has noticed he signs his work and has related that to the painting of the rainbow by God who should also sign his work. Me thinks that is quite clever CJ.
