A Rainbow Story

Born as the lucky charm, 

Daddy's girl, mom's dearest, 

She had the best smile, 

She was cute and beautiful 

Keeping the home lively, 

She was a charming, pampered princess. 

She grew up as a beautiful young lady, 

Wedding bells rang 

Married a young handsome guy 

With lots of childish dreams and hopes 

Dreams of getting more pampered, 

More love and more freedom, 

She loved him, so did he 

All eyes admired her beauty 

They said she can't be a mother 

She can't sing a lullaby 

She is not lucky, they whispered 

Her mother cried, father said no word 

Her love hugged her tight 

She felt low, her tears tough to comfort 

Thinking of her dreams that will never happen 

She burst out into tears 

Her dreams of holding her baby 

The cry and laughs of her tot 

The Lullaby and the sleepless nights 

The beautiful moments with her child 

Days moved, she lost her smile 

Lost herself in dreams only 

Watched the babies out cry 

Loved to hear their laughter 

Loved looking the toys around 

The next-door baby, she held him close 

Just holding him gave her life 

The little hands, legs hitting, the eyes 

Just the baby's touch 

Gave her the love of a lifetime 

Sometimes she cried out loud 

Hugged him tight and said nothing 

She trusted that one day, when she would be happy 

Happy that her prayers were heard 

Her lullaby's to be sung 

She became more adamant, more irresponsible 

She forgot her duty, 

Of being a wife, 

She was called insane 

She was called stupid 

She was left alone 

With no one to admire 

With no one to pamper 

She sat beside the road 

Dull-faced, unhappy smile 

World looked happier except her 

She broke into tears 

There was no one to hear 

She wept silently 

An angel came to her, from an unknown world 

From an unknown place 

Came to her, closer and more 

Hugged her and smiled 

Her sorrows understood 

Not from her words but from her eyes 

The angel left a rainbow in the sky 

They said she is going to be a mother 

Her eyes happier than ever before 

Her world became more colorful 

More colorful than the whole world 

She looked beautiful, smiling always 

She did not fear the dark 

Her eyes happier than ever before 

They whispered she is lucky 

She hugged him tight and said nothing
