Good Years

Dad is a collector of rainbows.

Pictures taken to capture and frame 

A small wonder performed on the world

He says it’s like saving up luck in our lives.

Seven rainbows held in his hand, preciously 

Displayed. Dazed, I see syrupy dimples form

From a childish prideful smile. I felt curiosity

“Seven luck to share,” he said in a voice that

Traced back through time, pure and innocent

Rainbows rarely occur and when they do– 

He promises that miracles will happen

It’ll definitely be a good year.
