THE A TO Z CHALLENGE: C IS FOR CHASING RAINBOWS:

 WELCOME TO DAY THREE OF THE
A TO Z CHALLENGE:
I HAVE CHOSEN A SONG TITLE AND
WRITTEN MY OWN POEM: (posted 0035am 03/04/2015')
 C is for CHASING RAINBOWS
RECORDED BY NEIL SEDAKA:
Whenever I see a rainbow,
I feel all aglow.
The colours are so awesome
Why I shall never know.

I can sit at my window,
Surveying this beautiful sight.
It's a kind of magic,
Knowing everything will be alright.

In my mind's eye
I'm Dorothy chasing rainbows,
Looking for The Yellow Brick Road.
Will I find it? I have yet to know.

I gather my four grandchildren,
Together we sit and look.
Their eyes full of wonder,
A scene from a fairy book.

Next time you see a rainbow,
No matter if there's no pot of gold.
For your gold is here on Earth
As all your family you enfold.

    I love rainbows. They are physical evidence of a promise of God to the people of this earth.

    Yes, another great song that takes me back. The lyrics are wonderful. Like the reference to Dorothy. Nice image of Neil Sedaka too. Haven't seen him in awhile.
