Rebuilt Dreams

Life has changed so much for everyone
Many ways, different levels too
Fighting battles, waiting to be won

Holding on, trying not to feel so blue
Unexpected restrictions around
Many ways, different levels too

Looking for ground we once walked and found
But, none of us are in this alone
Unexpected restrictions around

We still walk the path the sun has shown
It is all out there for us to see
But none of us are in this alone

So let us allow our words to be
Let us comfort anyone who hears
It is all out there for us to see

Let’s rebuild dreams from fragmented fears
Life has changed so much for everyone
Let us comfort anyone who hears
Fighting battles, waiting to be won

Heidi Sands

Just being here, being near, even if through the wind; certainly is enough-- to calm a troubled heart. In a dream, anything is possible. Let's continue to soar. Your thoughts caress gently around me. Congratulations Heidi, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy
