“Who’s gonna light my days when winter comes
Keep me shinin’ when I got no sun
Pick me up when I come undone
That’s my rainbow
Haven’t seen you in quite a while
I miss the flair of your impulsive style
Out of the blue into a smile
That’s my rainbow
Who’s gonna make me lost my head
Spread my wings and fly instead
Waiting just around the bend on
Good days and life’s hazy weather
When all my words are on their knees
You laugh in Latin blink in Japanese
Paint my gray with blue and green
That’s my rainbow
When I believe I’ve lost my song
And chances fade as time moves on
Right as rain you prove me wrong
That’s my rainbow
That’s my rainbow
That’s my . . . rainbow”
My Rainbow by Peter Mayer and Jim Mayer
Earlier this season, I wrote about the rainbow being a sign
of the promise of God (Genesis 9) with Noah and all the living creatures of the
earth. As we head into the home stretch of Lent, as March Madness culminates
tonight in the NCAA finals, as we just passed Palm/Passion Sunday with its own
version of “march madness” I thought it would be appropriate to
encourage each one of us to be someone’s rainbow today.
Peter sketches it out in lovely antiphonal form:
Pick me up when I come undone
That’s my rainbow
Out of the blue into a smile
That’s my rainbow
Paint my gray with blue and green
That’s my rainbow
Right as rain you prove me wrong
That’s my rainbow
I’m not sure what the weather report is in your
neighborhood. But, whether it is raining or not, I hope you can report that you
are someone’s rainbow today.
Peace,
