This & That

RAINDROPS & RAINBOWS

By: Donna L Martin

You’re thinking about leaving

Its all there in your eyes,

And I can sense your hesitation

When you try to say goodbye.

But before you close the door

There’s something you should know;

It’s the raindrops and rainbows

That helps true love to grow.

The memories of the good times

How they’d brighten up our day

And help create the rainbows

That kept dark clouds at bay.

The ringing of our laughter,

The loving in the snow;

Through those raindrops and rainbows

We helped our children grow.

So think before you turn away

From what our future could be,

And I hope all the years we’ve shared

Will help to make you see

That nothing in life comes easy

But the answer lies, I know

In those raindrops and rainbows

Which help true love to grow.

It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous.

- Robert Benchley

He was such a bad writer, they revoked his poetic license.

- Milton Berle

I have been successful probably because I have always realized that I knew nothing about writing and have merely tried to tell an interesting story entertainingly.

- Edgar Rice Burroughs 

If you write one story, it may be bad; if you write a hundred, you have the odds in your favor.

First, find out what your hero wants, then just follow him!
