Rainbow in a Box

This poem was written in 1981.

By Kelly Craig

• If I could send you sunshine on a rainy day,
• Or the stars on a cloudy night,
• A robin's song, a kitten's purr,
• Or the smile of a child.
• If I could send you the smell of a rose,
• The roar of the ocean,
• The colors in a seashell,
• Or a fresh mountain breeze.
• If I could send you a susnet in springtime,
• A tumbling waterfall,
• The quiet of a forest,
• Or the softness of a cloud.
• If I could send you the taste of a snowflake,
• The light of a moonbeam,
• The flight of a butterfly,
• Or dewdrops in the early morn.
• If I could box up a rainbow, I would,
• Because I want to send you joy.
