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,
And look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
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 calls 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 s'posed to be...
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
La laa la la laa dee daa doo..."
This song is so symbolic to my life. I have a vision of how I should be -- from educational endeavors to career to community contributions. My vision includes a family, travel, a home, and many things. However, I have taken many curved roads in order to meet my vision and accomplish many of my goals and progression has been slow. The last two years I have not had heart or hope, and thus, my motivation has slackened.
Sometimes all it takes is a rainbow, wishing on a star to realize that even when the journey doesn't seem perfect, it is the perfect journey individually.
For me, this message has always been apparent, but often I deny it. However, I have hope again because after 10 years of trying to have a baby I am 9 weeks and 4 days. This baby feels strong and gives me hope that my life, as I've planned and envisioned it, will eventually come together.
I know that many of the trials I've had and mistakes I've made have been processes that have taught me important things I've needed -- like humility, trust, self sufficiency, and happiness. So, I am enjoying every moment right now and know that even with my limitations things will come together.
My husband has been trying so hard to do things that perpetuate my vision and his vision, and I am really proud of the effort he has put forth in our relationship, our lives together, and planning for our future. We both have many things that are strengths and weaknesses and we both continually evolve; and, I think that is a blessing -- willingness to have new ideals and perspectives in life keeps one spirited -- and spirit "keeps us stargazing."
