DREAM OF RAINBOWS

WRITTEN BY SRINIDHI.RILLUSTRATED BY MADHATH KHAN

My heart leaps up, when I behold a rainbow in the sky

- William Wordsworth

Dedicated to my grandfather who has been my greatest source of inspiration

I have seen flock of birds soaring high up in the air.

I have seen airplanes cruising at high speeds.

I have seen stars twinkling in the night.

But I have never seen a rainbow appearing in the sky.

Rainbows are said to be beautiful.

Rainbows are said to be colorful.

Rainbows may possibly be magical.

But rainbows appear rarely in the sky.

When the sky is clear after the rain,

And the sun appears with its light shining into the rain,

The rays of light enter the rain drops,

Splitting the sunlight into multiple colors,

And a beautiful rainbow is formed.

I learnt about this in school,

And I dreamt of seeing a rainbow,

A beautiful and magical rainbow,

Made up of seven different colors,

That will shine brightly in the sky.

With the dream in mind, I opened the window,

Wow! Theres a real rainbow,

Shining brightly in the sky.

And its more beautiful than I ever imagined.

Thank you, God!

My rainbow dream has finally come true!
