THE RAINBOW CONNECTION

We have seen numerous rainbows on our Dream Retirement Cruise-this is just the latest from West Palm Beach. It was a nice way to begin one of our last days here, sipping away on our morning coffee and enjoying the view from our cockpit. As I sat there Kermit’s rendition of the song “The Rainbow Connection” kept running through my mind. When I googled the lyrics I was pleasantly surprised with how it reflected many thoughts and memories of our trip. 

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

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

I wokeup the other morning to this beautiful sky. The moon, some stars and a beautiful cloud formation. I am an early riser but David likes to sit up on the deck at night gazing at the stars. Either way we enjoy watching the sky. 

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

It looks like our wish to go to the Bahamas may not happen after all. Our initial plan to get to Key West by Christmas was seriously delayed, and we are now thinking we can enjoy the Keys and then take our time heading back home. Views and days like this are what we really are dreaming of. 

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 (old) 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

Happy 45th anniversary to us, December 29. The lovers and dreamers!
