Rainbow's Gold

I scampered to find a bucket,
     to catch the rainbows gold,
With gleeful thoughts I eyed the spot,
     Where the boundless treasures flowed;
Yet when I reached the very place,
     That I thought the treasure lay,
Not a trace of gold awaited me,
     And the rainbow flew away!

---

"Where is the rainbows crowning glories,"
     My thoughts cried out in anguish,
That's when I heard the mocking chant,
     Which whispered through my soul,
"Yee ne're shall catch my treasures, lad,
     Nor relish in my wealth!
For fleeting are the riches gained,
     When the rainbow shines away!"

So when you chase elusive dreams,
     Remember this Irish saying,
'That earthly rainbows do exist,
     Yet their treasures are but waning.'
So place your eyes on truthful riches,
     Whose rewards are yet to come,
For the Rainbows Glory shall be yours,
     For Eternal is Everlasting
