I see your pain and want to banish it
with the wave of a star,
but have no star.

I see your tears and want to dry them
with the hem of an angel's gown,
but have no angel.

I see your heart fallen to the ground and want to return it
wrapped in cloths woven of rainbow,
but have no rainbow.

God is the One
who has stars, and angels and rainbows,
and I am the one
God sends to sit beside you
until the stars come out
and the angels dry your tears
and your heart is back in place,
rainbow blessed.
