The Christmas Rainbow
written by: Ken Gosse
Somewhere, over the rainbow,
Santa flies,
reindeer pulling his sleigh
across the crisp midnight skies.
Somewhere, over the rainbow,
skies are clear,
and the dreams of our wond’ring
children will soon appear.
One day we’re children watching for
the kindly Saint who’ll come by door
or fireplace,
then wake up when we’re fully grown
and have some children of our own
who now take our place.
Somewhere over the rainbow,
skies are wild,
yet, they’ll tame the fierce weather,
making the journey mild.
I hold their hands and we’re beguiled;
that’s when I find
that I am still a child.
