If I could catch
a rainbow, I would do it, just for you,
And, share with you, its beauty, on the days
you're feeling blue.
If I could, I
would build a mountain, you could call your very
own.
A place to find serenity, a place just to be
alone.
If I could, I
would take your troubles, and toss them into the
sea.
But, all these things, I'm finding, are
impossible for me.
I cannot build a
mountain, or catch a rainbow fair;
but, let me be, what I know best,
A Friend, who's always there.
I promise to
defend you, should the occasion ever rise,
And, I promise to wipe away the tears,
which might stream from your weeping eyes.
Let me be the
trusted Friend, the one that you know best.
I will never leave you, on that, you can surely
rest.

This poem was
written for my nephew, who loves rainbows. It was
written in a time that he had lost his mother,
was feeling down, and I wanted to send him
something that would cheer him up.
Sometime later,
I entered this poem into a poetry contest with a
greeting company. I did not win the contest, but
later, this poem was released through the
internet, as a Hug Certificate, without my
knowledge or permission.
If you happen to
see it come your way, without my name, please
contact the party sending, and ask that they
display proper credit. Many have claimed this
poem, but it is mine.
