sometime sunshine


don't know about your place, but there's been some respite from the rains in quezon city over the weekend. last sunday afternoon, i overheard the neighborhood kids talking about a rainbow in the sky. didn't get to see it when i got outside, but the number of kids playing outside, even in the still wet streets, is a testament that they've been cooped up for so long. a bit of sunshine, no school next day ( national heroes day ) and a friend or two to play with - a perfect day for a kid.

well, like i said i didn't get to catch a view of the rainbow. despite my rush to finish my chore, it was gone when i went outside. guess that seems to be the story of my life. i've always been chasing 'rainbows'. my sister once told me to learn how to temper my dreams with reality. and i guess i've learned to do that over the years. BUT there are still dreams that i still strive for, which some people may consider need a miracle ( or a series of miracles ), to achieve or come true. it's the occasional ray of sunlight, a glimpse of the rare rainbow that gives me hope from whatever path my life takes me.

like they said, God is good to fools and little children.
