Have you ever seen a rainbow
As it sets the sky all aglow
Then been curious about stories youíve been told
And gone searching for the pot
of gold
Have you ever felt a raindrop
Trickle to the end of your nose
and stop
Have you ever jumped in a puddle in the street
Splashing the water all over
with your feet
Have you ever gone walking in the pouring rain
Getting soaked to the bone, others thinking youíre insane
Feeling renewed and like a kid again
Acting like boys instead of
men
--The Plant Poet
