Question: What do you think this poems mean!?
I'll Paint You A Rainbow
Grace E!. Easley

I'll paint you a rainbow to hang on the wall,
to brighten your heart when the gray shadows fall!.
On a canvas of joy outlasting the years,
with a soft brush of sweetness to dry all your tears!.
I'll paint you a rainbow with colors of smiles
That glow with sincerity over the miles!.
On a palette of words I will tenderly blend
Tones into treasures of sunlight and wind!.

I'll paint you a rainbow that reaches so wide,
Your sights and your sorrows will vanish inside,
And deep in the center of each different hue,
A memory fashioned especially for you!.
So lift up your eyes, for suspended above,
A rainbow designed by the fingers of love

Don't Give Up
Ron Atchison

Listen closely and you can hear them!.!.!.
the great spirits of every tribe
the ones who were here before us
Listen to what they are saying
There is one who calls himself Gandhi
and another who calls himself King
They know that the way is not easy
There is a woman named Teresa
and many who are simply known as
Grandmothers and Grandfathers
and all of them whisper into our ear!.!.!.
'Don't give up' they tell us!.!.!.
'Don't become cynical!.!.!.'
'Take one more step!.!.!.'
'There is a reason!.!.!.'Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The first one is talking about doing something to brighten up someone's life!. A rainbow symbolizes God's promise to Noah to never destroy the Earth by water!.!.!.!.!.!.it is the sunlight reflecting after the rain!. It thinks she is writing to someone experiencing something sad, maybe someone died!. They are probably going through a tough time in their life, and she says she will paint them a rainbow to shine through!.

The second one is talking about looking back to people in history who never gave up and accomplished things against great trials!. It is saying no matter what remember others struggled, but they prevailed!. He is telling the reader don't give up, push onward and keep going!.

Both are inspirational poems, what do they say to you!?
