There is no dream
I haven't dreamt
throughout my life every theme
found a moment to be spent.
Just a dreamer they always said
looked away in their dismay
believing only foolish dreams in my head
but still each found a place each day,
A scientist, teacher, writer, daughter, sister, friend
first to go to college
waylaid by reality now and again
but succeeded in accumulating knowledge.
Retired now, ready to relax and recall decades of living
each achieved in the years now passed
and the images of wonder find thanksgiving
in the heart of every soul in which the dreams are cast.

Days so real
I feel alive
Do what I do
Never to die
The only one
I have known
Energy in me
Soul unshown
Time is what
I wonder why
We must have
A day to die
For the days
I may regret
Days unlived
Life unspent

Lonely Days filled with sorrow
Swimming endlessly through the pain
Living for worldly possessions
Soon to find I'm going insane
Trying to classify my sadness
As a type of never-ending disease
Diagnosed upon your good-bye
Never to put my mind at ease
I thought things would never change
I was lost in time unspent
Spending countless nights asking
What those cold words meant
Yet days are getting better
I've found a guy who makes me smile
When wrapped in his arms I soon realize
All my heartache and tears were worth while
