I See Rainbows


"Rainbow Connection"
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard
and answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic.

Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors.
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

I can't think of anything more inspiring or hopeful than the sight of a rainbow in the sky, so I thought I'd try something a little different this week. I'm declaring it my personal rainbow week.

Each day I hope to focus on a different color of the rainbow, and share photo's of either an item that I've crocheted in that particular color or a piece of artwork that features that color. Could be quite a challenge, don't you think?

At the top of the page, you'll see what I titled, Rainbow bears. Not quite every color of the rainbow, but close. Each bear measures approximate three and a half inches, and are fully jointed. Most of these bears have found new homes with grandchildren or with children's charities.

This is a polymer clay pendant I titled "Rainbow and Pearl Heart".


What do you think? Would you care to join the challenge, too?

Wishing you many rainbows, beauty and hope in this upcoming week!
