97. Somewhere, over the rainbow!


Tirus loves it when I do something special to look good; especially when I dress up to get him from school. He appreciates that extra effort I take for him.

It’s really a great feeling to do something unique and exceptional for someone who loves me unconditionally. And for Tirus, I wish to bring the world to him. Often, his possessiveness like, “Okay, mom, where are you going? What work? When will you be back? Please be back early,” brings tears of joy to my eyes.

As I reverse my car out of the driveway, he would come running up to me and knock on the car window. As I roll down the glass, he would poke in his face and in an almost hushed tone say, “Ok, drive safe and steady now. Don’t get angry. Oh and I forgot to tell you. You are looking beautiful. I love you. Bye. Get back home early.” Wow! As I drive off, with Tirus waving at me, the only thing I can possibly do is smile and a contented smile at that!

I would carry this cheerful, exuberant, buoyant feeling all throughout the day and things just happen at their magical best for me.

I had and still have realised one thing that when someone loves, cares, is possessive to such an extent, then I should, at all costs take care of this relationship with all my heart. Every day, I have to work towards making this relationship even more loving and trusting. This dominion of love, if I might say, has an over-powering effect on my senses, making me wish to get home early and stay alive for the one person who loves me so much. Love you Tirus, my baby!

                             Somewhere over the rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,Oh why, oh why can't I?

Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, I...I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more
Than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world world

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I?
