The Rainbow Girl
Grandma and myself thought it would be lovely if we both visited the children.
As usual it was a beautiful day the sounds and colours were just perfect, we had taken time out to visit the children on the other side of the garden gate
We sat there on our seat that made us so very content with things, and just watched the children play.
Coming toward us was a ball of color with arching rainbows jumping out of it, and there in the very center we could see a lovely girl of about eight years old
The little girl arrived where we sat , she was singing away as happy as could be,
More rainbows, arching out across the little stream that ran nearby
She said that she just loved to make rainbows, a thought and there it was.
Then another, each with its own beauty, as a little flash of colours spread out when she made them,
the world seemed to be at peace with her.
“Pretty, pretty colours, I will make some more” she sang
“What else do you do”? I asked
“I just make the rainbows” she shrilled with colour and love
“You do need lots of water though to make them,
”I throw them up and over the streams I find as I move around and I am very happy”
“Why don’t you go and play with the other children it would be lovely for them to see”
“Not want to”, she laughed back, making a beautiful rainbow that arched above our heads that seemed to hold us in its colours
“You would learn very quickly and you could take your rainbows with you, the children would love them”.
“They are learning about lots of things, they watch other people and learn from them all the time” I said,
“This is where they come to play it’s a beautiful place that our Sadie has made.”
When they are not at school or their many meetings they play here.”
“They would love to have one”, I said pointing to the waterfall, by the small lake
“Alright I will take one to them” at this she moved over to near the waterfall.
The children’s waterfall needs a rainbow it would be wonderful if you could make them one.
It would play over their waterfall making such lovely colors
“Just call Sadie and she will show you all the places that she has made for the children.”
At this the little rainbow girl called “Sadie” and skipped off happily
There was a shimmer of yellow colour and love as Sadie appeared reaching out to hold her hand
The two girls spent a little time talking and it was such a beautiful thing to see , the colors passed between them at a great speed, colors I had a hard time watching and Grandma said that she had never seen such a show
A little later Sadie came and told us that the little girl had talked to her about all the things she missed, and loved.
The little girl said that the one person she would love to see was her Grandma.
Sadie told us that she had called the little girls Grandma, who came to see her, then after a lot of colourful tears, that made lots of rainbow’s of love and understanding they walked off by the side of the woods where a Golden mist held them as they journeyed on.
As she was leaving the little girl turned to Sadie saying “Here is a special rainbow for all the children that play here”, She made a rainbow of such beauty that even Sadie dropped some tears that splashed on the grass, like many crystals caught in the sunshine
The rainbow appeared there, holding the waterfall in its loving arms for all the children to see, it held a promise for the children, that only they could feel.
By now it was time for us to leave the children’s play place and return to our home, the children sent us flowers and thoughts of love as we crossed the Pooh bridge, butterflies danced around us and as if the powder from their wings flew, they sent out colourful love, Sadies voice seemed to float with them as she said “I will talk to you later, Granddad and Grandma.
I can never seem to remember how we return to our home but the love felt is there for us as we reached for the door
