Awakenings
April 7, 2008 by Shirley
Gentle thought and quiet talk
Of yesterday’s promise, it seems
Reveals the truth, the painful proof
That waking falls short of our dreams.
As youthful dreams are laid to rest
Their intent to pave the surface
Our hearts and minds still try their best
To make the dream the purpose.
“Some men see things as they are and say, ‘Why?’ I dream of things that never were and say, ‘Why not?’ ”
George Bernard Shaw
Lovely, Shirley…
One of my favorite quotes. Thanks, Bob. Have a good trip.
this is a real keeper - I need to cogitate on it for a while. thanks - a fan
Hope springs eternal…
Ah, to remain inspired when faced with a life oft uninspiring. This i feel.
If we haven’t got dreams, then what have we got?
i personally make this struggle daily… what is there… when the dream has been lost…..
