Miracles and Rainbows and Pink Teddy Bears
61
Miracles and rainbows
hopes and dreams
sunshine and laughter
and other good things
all seem to surface
when i look in your eyes
there is no pretending
I wear no disguise
when I'm at an arcade
and my kid wants the bear
I must reach with a claw
and God, it's RIGHT THERE
so you take your one chance
and you try to capture
the bright pink bear
the one that your after
your heart it beats faster
and you give it your best shot
She's counting on you
She wants that bear a lot
you won't dissapoint her
you know how that feels
the bear it can't wait
to get scooped up by the claw
and then it just happens
you both start to cheer
We got it, We got it
It's now our pink teddy bear
We both are so happy
for such a simple pleasure in life
We jump up and down
and squeal with delight
this moment is priceless
so happy, so right
Miracles and rainbows
sunshine and rain
times just like this
to help ease your pain
anticipation and pats on the back
words of encouragement
bright happy colors
always will cover the black
You are the pink bear
that my claw couldn't grasp
I had you for a few precious moments
but dropped you back in the pile
we had a fairytale romance
if only for a little while
I'm all out of tokens
time to leave the arcade
I had love, but lost it
How I wish it had stayed.
miracles and rainbows
someone's pot of gold
another pink teddy bear
childhood dreams and stories of old
the one that got away
the one you threw back
the one that escaped
the one that's come back
Miracles and rainbows
smiling through the rain
days of wine and roses
feelings you can't explain
happy days are here again
the pink bear is within reach
put another token in the machine
and get ready to spend your life
running on the beach
as the tide rolls in and out
the prize is waiting for you
great love is your reward
don't hesitate to claim it
here's your glass, the happiness has been poured.
Drink from the cup
It's been filled to the top
Drink and be happy
love with all your heart
and don't ever stop.
You'll get your pink bear
your sunshine and love
Life with that someone
and blessings from up above.

Hi Erin, once again a tale that takes the reader along a journey of emotions, reflections and relationship hurts. Thank you for sharing your intimate thoughts. It also made me smile as I remembered the times when trying to win a teddy bear at a fair for my daughter Charis when she was three years old. It took me so long that I could have bought ten bears with the amount I paid to try and win it. She still has the bear today, twenty-five years later!
