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.
