A Boy with a Favor From God
One Wish by LoannaLois

She sat there for hours,
a wish in her heart-
for wishes take time
to come true.

And she was determined
with all of her will
to not disappoint
him anew.

This boy with a heart
that was broken
no longer could trust
or believe.

His precious sweet voice
had been silenced
by parents who
knew to deceive.

He asked but one favor
since they went away;
he just wanted
them to return.

He asked for a rainbow
to shine in the sky
to make up for
that which he yearned.

And his aunt who adored him
just sat there.
She stayed and
she watched every cloud.

She prayed for a rainbow
to soothe a boy's heart.
She prayed and she
begged Him aloud.

Now the sun had been shining
for twenty-two days;
the odds of a shower
were nil.

But Rylan heard thunder
and rolled to the door.
His aunt lifted
window from sill.

Warm rain made a sound
like a cello.
The drops were of
wondrous belief.

The rainbow came gently
and brightened the sky.
Soon everyone
felt deep relief.

So she sat there and whispered
her thank you
to God who had eyes
that would see.

Just a boy's wish
was all Rylan wanted.
Now the door to his life
had a key.

I once had a boy in class in a wheelchair like this one. His name was Rylan.
