The Rainbow is coming (poem)

Don't have much to say
Don't feel like doing much
Don't feel like being around anyone
Don't feel like doing anything
I guess you could say I am numb

Numb from life
Numb from death
Numb from a heart that is cracked in two

Oh, there is only one hope
One hope that shines behind the dark clouds
One hope that shines when the rain is falling to the ground
One hope that lifts me up, when I am feeling down

And that's Jesus

He's the only one that can keep me moving
He's the only one that can keep me walking in stride
He's the only one that can keep me standing tall
He is the only one that can firm my footing so I don't fall

In time He will take away the dark clouds
And the rain will cease to fall
When the sun shines again
The rainbow He will send
Full of beautiful colors that will heal and mend

Till then I'll go through the valleys
Knowing that God's rainbow is waiting in the end
Where there is black and white
there will be color once again.
