Somewhere (sunday Scribblings #126)

Man I haven't done this in ages. I spent the last couple months moving and getting organized. Still a mess around here but ladeeda.

I immediately thought of Judy Garland, singing somewhere over the rainbow in Wizard of Oz. My favorite 2 stanzas in the song are:

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me


With all our problems in today's society its nice to think that way. This song always puts a smile on my face for some reason. There really isn't an Over The Rainbow but the thought is nice. Well... I guess home sorta is. Thats the one place I have where I feel okay. Where my mom's embrace or my brother's laugh can warm my soul and make even the worst days feel not so bad. I guess thats all we can ask for. One place to call ours, our own little peice of "Over the Rainbow".
