An Ode to Rainbows

By: Hannah Beasley

Dear rainbows,

Thank you.

Thank you for showing that out of every storm comes something so unexplainably beautiful that we often stop all that we are doing to admire your beauty.

Thank you for being a bright light at the end of every struggle.

The day that you don’t shine after a terrible storm is the day that I give up.

Larger than life, your bright colors streaming across the sky,

I reach for you and your beauty.

For your colored stripes are ever so often my only hope.
