\"\"<\/a>Majestic Sovereign,
\nSource of beauty,
\nWhen did You decide
\nTo create the rainbow?
\nWas this Your design?
\nOr perhaps it was a
\nFantastic discovery
\nThe moment Your Divine Light
\nBurst through the firmament of heaven?
\nDid You know that
\nYour Glory
\nCould be refracted
\nThrough a simple lens of water?
\nOr were awe and wonder created
\nWhen You first saw
\nYour own colors,
\nWhen You gasped
\nAt Your own brilliant light
\nArching across a deep blue sky?<\/p>\n
