Love Poem: Rainbow Nations

Rainbow Nations

I didn’t ask to be white
You didn’t ask to be black
We didn’t ask to be 
The colors we are

You didn’t ask to be sad
You didn’t ask to have to cry
Or to go hungry or to reason why

But after every storm
Sunbeams bend through rain
And a Rainbow of hope shines

So lets us get along
Let us know that 
From one God we are made
A rainbow of many colors
In glorious array

Lets shine out the glories 
Of who we are
We are ONE Rainbow 
Of united colors
In this our ONE world 
That was created
We call HOME 


So turn your eyes heavenward
Lift your broken hearts to the SON
For He is coming soon
And together we'll shine
For The Son will make us 
A rainbow of many Nations
Together we’ll be ONE
