I liked the poem, thanks for sharing that, too. Your story was great.
I remember the first rainbow my daughter saw. She was a bit over a year old. We stood at the central station of our city and there was a bright rainbow just over the river. I showed it to her. And for weeks, she'd tell me about that rainbow. I was never sure if she'd understood at that point what the rainbow was or if she'd thought that rainbow was the word for something else. Kids are curious like that. Since they have no idea what time is, yesterday may mean anything between an hour ago or months ago.
