Heaven opens a magic lane.
When all the clouds darken up the sky ways there's a rainbow highway to be found.
Leading from your window pane.
To a place behind the sun just a step beyond the rain...
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There´s a place a land that i heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dream that you dare to dream
Really does come true
One day i wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way upon the chimney tops
That´s where you´ll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, oh why can´t i?
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way upon the chimney tops
That´s where you´ll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, oh why can´t i?
I sang this song to my daughter recently and we had a moment of just true peace and love. We dreamed of what the world would be like if we had just peace. No yelling, no fighting, no mean people, just God's love and our love and a world of peace and freedom. We talked about a loving peaceful world were no one was hungry or hurting or at odds. We talked about a place where there was no need for soup kitchens and sad people who needed to see therapists. We drew a rainbow picture and then discovered that the world we live in needs people like us to make it better. She was crying a bit and sad a bit, but she understood that the need to help the world get better is very important.
So we looked at what would be our rainbow. She said that me being a nurse was a rainbow, and I told her yes it was my greatest rainbow next to being a mommy.
Perhaps I should have told her that even if mommy was not a nurse then I would still try to help the sick and needy with whatever I could because that is what God has called me to do. I missed that opportunity. I should have told her that my rainbow is waking up and knowing that my three babies are well, healthy, whole and wonderful. Just knowing they are here and living good happy lives makes me live a rainbow everyday. I should have told her that no matter what happens in this life that God has called us to be servants to each other and to fulfill our mission in life with honesty, love and integrity. No matter if I am a nurse who saves lives or a waitress bringing sustenance to others, it is my/our mission to be helpers of mankind. I hope she will understand that one day. I intend to tell her soon.
All three of my babies are my rainbows. They are my happiness.
I have been fortunate. I have a job that allows me to fulfill my mission in life, I have the love of a good decent honest and wonderful man, and I have the most beautiful children. I am blessed beyond imagining. I need nothing else.
Right now the skies are kinda dark, and the clouds are threatening, but I have what I need. God will provide the rest and I will accept whatever comes.
