If I could catch a rainbow

Author Unknown

I would do it just for you

And share with you its beauty

On the days you’re feeling blue

If I could build a mountain

You cal call your very own

A place to find serenity

A place to be alone

If I could take your troubles

I would toss them into the sea

But all these things I’m finding

Are impossible for me

I cannot build a mountain

Or catch a rainbow fair

But let me be what I know best

A friend that’s always there.

The poem I chose was if I could catch a rainbow. I chose this poem as it strongly reflects my emotions towards this bench. The bench has done so much for me but it is almost impossible for me to return the favour. This poem almost exactly reflects my feelings towards the bench such as what it has done for me and what I would do for it if I could. “And share with you its beauty on the days you’re feeling blue” these two lines reflect how when I am sad I can come to the bench and look out into the sky and the view I am presented with makes me feel all the more better. “A place to find serenity a place to be alone” these two lines reflect what the bench is to me and its roll in my life as I come to it to find serenity and be alone to escape my recent problems in life. “If I could take your troubles I would toss them into the sea but all these things I’m finding are impossible for me” these three lines reflect how the bench can help me but it cannot get rid of my problems, I have to do my part as well. “I cannot build a mountain or catch a rainbow fair but let me be what I know best a friend that’s always there” These three lines describe how the bench isn’t so great it cant give me all the things I want in life, but it is always there to do what it can.
