I really loved your poem Sally. My heart leapt up as I read, putting me in mind of Wordsworth's masterful poem. Thank you for sharing. John

My heart leaps up when I behold

A rainbow in the sky:

So was it when my life began;

So is it now I am a man;

So be it when I shall grow old,

Or let me die!

The Child is father of the Man;

And I could wish my days to be

Bound each to each by natural piety.
