My rifle was trained to miss you

Little salt , in pinches and sprinkles
Over the rainbow, the colours make me tingle
Unusual feelings of happiness painstakingly felt
Idiosyncracies that flow to make heart melt
Same revolting rhymes revolving round the head
Everyday for six months, i pronounce gladness instead!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! My parents arriving on the exact day. How exciting in lots of ways. Catchphrase for the week "think positive thoughts".
