I was chasing rainbows
almost all of my life
searching for pots of gold
hurt my children and wife
where I'd find my rainbow
I thought God only knows
when I was delivered
out of my shades of rose.

You might think life's better
seen through rose colored eyes
what you don't understand
it was all a disguise
I was hiding behind
lies that sin never shows
as I went on living
behind my shades of rose.

My true colors are seen
now at my rainbows end
alive in the presence
of my family and friends
where I found forgiveness
like a vessel that glows
when God’s grace and mercy
removed my shades of rose.

-Robert E. Michaud Jr.-

Bob; A wonderful poem of awareness, contrition and the joy of forgiveness and His Grace to change your life and know the fullness of His Love.... Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
