Funny I should come upon this poem today. Its as if you read my mind only put it a more sophisticated way. I'm turning 44 next month and thinking about where I am now in comparison to all I wanted to be and do as a child. You summed it up beautifully and thanks for reading and commenting on my Vietnam poem.

WOW, this is masterful. I am not too old yet , but at the same time, I really starting feeling these things when I turned fifty and it's only getting worse. One that I think many can relate. How the dreams just kind of disappear after a while. so sad. why was Debs telling you to try present tense? that's what you are doing!

Many people parlay hopes and dreams. You have torn the bond assunder. I like the parallel course along which dreams and hopes travel. Yet they never intersect or twine. Hopes undergird our dreams, but do not share in them. Hope is an independent source not attenuated by time or unfulfilled dreams. Enlightened thoughts nicely packaged together in a sentient verse.

Real good Joann..maybe try and take a fast pass at it in present tense? just to see what you think? I'd say it's a winner one way or the other. Light & Love
