a rainbow shorter of one shade

a few wrong meetings,a few meetings right
I finally said the word friend
ungrateful in the gift, the porch keeps swinging
the door of happiness closes,another opens
a trial strong,a sorrow weak.

I untied his past failures and heartaches
with one word, the best of all the words:friend
he did not have to search for it,I planted it
right in his dreams
so that they would never end on a tear

i picked the queen of the flower
in my secret garden,i called him friend
he did not hear the word
he did nof feel the meaning
a trial strong,a sorrow weak
today I am walking in the dawn
a rainbow shorter by one shade
