Don'T Quit Your Daydream

I knew a boy in my youth Who smiled a kiss and whispered light From gentle lips and kindest hugs He brought alive – a dream to survive The tests of time, the doubts Fears and tears, all the secrets Brought to life by those dark years This boy and me, we were bound By a dream… He went his way and I went mine Soon, we would be living – adult lives Struggling with bills, marriage and all else That comes with the time – when maturity Invites a heart to find that life isn’t defined By the dreams that may endure, yet… Only inside After many years – so many painful tears, There came a sweet time… When I would realize… He and I – we were meant for a new life And, after a time, together… We would combine our dreams Our sorrows and our needs, The faith that encouraged us to believe The hope and love that continues to breath… Joy through the life we share, A life that is being lived on a prayer!
