A Better Tomorrow

To have illusions of what should have been
And wander through the thorned brambles of time
To seek tomorrow can bring its own sin
When we forget mountains this day we climb
The wistful dreamer in the mind this day
Will allow the dream to slowly evolve
Although the darkest thought can bring dismay
The problems we face we can always solve
Lets dream of what's beyond the farthest hill
It's a reason to climb what lays before
And reach the summit a need to fulfill
To stand a top what we have struggled for
The deepest depth of our fervent desire
Is to escape from our heart's thorny brier

It does always seem like there are mountains yet to climb, Frederic. Just keep those dreams alive. Saw the Buccaneers beat the Broncos yesterday. Perhaps Brady will lead them to a Super Bowl. Congratulations on your fine win!
