Where the Treasure’s Found

Posted on November 16, 2017 by russtowne

Mysti 14

As wind softly blew through our hair,

I learned a lesson then and there:

Rainbows don’t end in pots of gold;

Their treasure’s found in the colors they hold.

(Illustration and excerpt from Mysti Z’s Magical Day.)

With Love,

Russ

  Thank you, Beth. I think illustrator Jack Wiens hit another home run with this one.
