Analysis of The Rainbow



I love to look up in the sky
After a storm that has gone by.

Sometimes you see a nice Rainbow
The colors look Beautiful from below.

The Rainbow is a promise from God
That he will never again end life, how odd.

The World was so corrupted And bad,
So he destroyed it, and it was sad.

He had Noah build a big Hugh Ark
To save his Family from the dark.

He took all the Animals two by two
So that they lived when the World was through

Life had started over again, and hopefully
There would be no more Sin

God then made a Promise so we would know,
In the form of a fabulous pretty Rainbow

That never again would life be taken
By his hand or be forsaken.

So when we see a Rainbow in the sky,
We will know the reason why...
