"Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold. But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow" - Douglas Pagels "These Are the Gifts I'd Like to Give to You"
"May God give you...For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer.” - Author Unknown
Welcome to the West Virginia International Order of Rainbow for Girls' homepage. Come join us for our 67th Plowing Into The Future Grand Session June 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21th at the Scotish Rite Temple in Charleston, West Virginia.
Show Her the Rainbow
"Show
her the rainbow, for rainbows don't wait.
And soon she's a woman; too soon it's too late.
Rainbows and childhood too soon disappear;
Like an illusion, you thought they were here.
Someday a rainbow may be hard to find.
And childhood and rainbows will be left behind.
Like ripples on water they vanish and fade.
Then what will become of the plans that you made?
So take time to show her the wonderful things
Like snowflakes and dewdrops and butterfly wings.
Show her the moonbeams that shine down at night . . .
A sky full of starlight all twinkling and bright.
Soon you'll discover some treasures can't wait,
So show her the rainbow before it's too late.
Yes, show her the rainbow while she is still small.
Or soon you will find there's no rainbow at all." - Author Unknown
