Hello! Yesterday I wanted to inspire women everywhere to really believe in themselves and to value themselves wherever they are in their lives. To quote the late Maya Angelou we are “phenomenal”. Some days we are up and some days we are down, but it doesn’t mean we have to stay down forever. Here is another poem to make you smile: MY RAINBOW My rainbow is never far away I see it even
MY RAINBOW
My rainbow is never far away
I see it even when others don’t
It beckons me silently from above
Its illuminating colours say:
Red is for fire, fire in my belly
Do the things I want to do, and do not turn to jelly
When problems haunt and distress me
Red says be strong and don’t be
Fooled into thinking that yellow
Means you’re cowardly
Yellow brings out the sunshine
Of your smile, let it linger for a while
And if you’re feeling blue
Smile, feel the fire in your belly
Chase those blues away
Absolutely refuse to let them stay
Take a trip if that’s an option
And off to Indigo, or even to the moon
In your imagination the places you can go
Don’t need an airline ticket!
So Violet, what a pretty name
Smile, feel the fire in your belly
Chase those blues away and off to Indigo
Enjoy your imaginary rainbow trip
They’ll be so green with envy
When they see your yellow
Sunshine smile, know you’ve
Chased those blues away!
Enjoyed your trip to Indigo
Felt the fire in your belly
Saw your legs didn’t turn to jelly
Because you refuse to let it do
That wobbly thing it does
When you’re feeling as if
Life has kicked the stuffing out of you
Instead of jumping into bed
Think Rainbow!
Smile, feel the fire in your belly
Chase those blues away
And while your checkin’
Your virtual ticket
For your trip to Indigo
Sit back and peel yourself an Orange!
