Dreams Seeds Planted

Dreams Seeds Planted I grow the best seeds given in my dreams, I hold the flavor of that feat; Although a freeze may hit my streams, I shall not admit brutal defeat ... Yet life can and will serve all the more Against dark blades stabbing in the night, With my crop growing on another shore Hope prays to end this desperate fight. Watering my crop with needed warm tears, My hands never sit vacant and idly by, True sense of purpose allays my deep fears Even if saddened, my life can still fly. Onward! My passage is deliberate and slow, I defiant, planted with stoic, firm feet; Face this world, with my heart in tow, Harvest my crop for my hungry soul to eat. I will not allow defeat to crush my heart, A thought repugnant to my wishful mind; Each morn gives another chance to restart, And live dreams that a sweeter love may find. Robert J.
