Bubble up
Oh! Bubble up
Bubble up my joy inside
’Tis Christmastime
’Tis Christmastime
I long for snow
There’s none to be found
But never mind
My song’s safe and sound
So I’ll sing
I’ll sing
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
May your heart bubble joy
Merry Christmas
May your heart bubble joy
And in every circumstance
With Love’s joy may your heart be bound
Be bound
With Love’s joy may your heart be bound
Repeat …

This feeling of emptiness
Fills opened rivers
Rivers of dryness
Where tears have exhausted
The floodgates of time
Within this heart
Of such mixed emotion
And each shadow
Of melody in sadness
Sheds new light
On how very alone
I feel
I sought and thought
I had found
Love lost
Escaped
Returned once more
But alas
Mistaken
Love’s not found happiness
Unsettled
And leaves within me
Uncertainty
I’m shattered
And a wall surrounds my heart once more

Along the path of our life are scattered so many rainbows of hope.
There are times when we can’t see any joy or happiness or love.
Look closely – there are so many daily blessings.
The sweetness of a singing bird.
The smile of a stranger.
Sunlight streaming through the trees.
The scent of jasmine.
Family.
A friend.
The wonders of nature.
Watching the perserverance of the ant and the load that it carries.
The perfection of the rose.
The unconditional love of a pet.
Having someone care because there are always prayers lifted for those hurting.
Life itself.
Every breath that we take.
I could go on and on and on …….
Yes – the best things in life are free.
Little rainbows are just as special as ones that encompass our whole day ……..
maybe even more so
for they are given in beautiful snippets and can lessen the intensity of our load.
Always remember that within each trial the Lord has scattered little rainbows
along the path of what sometimes feels like an empty, hopeless day.
Thank you Lord.
“Once on a perfect night divine
A little kitten was born so fine
Ginger, cream and well-marked stripes
His mummy wondering, “Why all the hype?”
