Another Poem


I found this poem by Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D., in a book titled A Grateful Heart.

As a child
    I was told and believed
        that there was a treasure
            buried beneath every rainbow.

I believed it so much that
    I have been unsuccessfully
        chasing rainbows
            most of my life.

I wonder why
    no one ever told me
        that the rainbow
    and the treasure
        were both
            within me.


Thanks to all of the therapists, lay counselors, teachers, aunts, uncles, and adoptive parents who help the children find the treasures within themselves.

M.J. Ryan, Editor, A Grateful Heart, Conari Press, Berkeley, CA, 1994.
