Yesterday’s Dream Tomorrow’s Hope Yesterday’s dreams can be tomorrow’s goal If you can give to the depths of your soul Inside your heart there is a chance to be Everything you wish if you try constantly Only those who dare can seize their chance To learn the steps and dance the dance What are you waiting for, take my hand And I’ll dance with you like a firebrand Yesterday’s dreams can be tomorrow’s hope Feel the rise of wishes and know you’ll cope There’s no need to fear you can win Look inside you’ll find strength within I know it’s hard because I’ve been there too Fought the demons of pain just like you But you’re not alone look and you’ll see Others around you on their life’s journey Yesterday’s dreams are tomorrow’s wishes Wrapped in love and sealed with kisses The path you’re on could make you fall But if you need aid give me a call My hand is outstretched to steady you I know exactly what you’ve been through Chances are that you can’t see the light Ask me my friend I’ll clear your sight Yesterday’s dreams wait on tomorrow’s shore Ready to welcome you home once more There’s a light burning there just for you And warmth and hope are waiting too If you reach out your hand to touch me I’ll guide you back to haven’s safety There’s no need to fear look to the light It is there ahead waiting warm and bright Marsha Breathe through the heat of our desire Thy coolness and they balm Let sense be dumb let flesh retire Speak through the eathquake wind and fire Oh [This message has been edited by Marsha (06-21-2002 10:56 AM).] |

This is how I feel today: I was just an interlude, a lull between your busy a lesson unfinished, a process in overkill. I was never a "meant to be" and in all my disclosures I failed to represent that in which I believed. I was a wannabe, that never had, never would and never could and all that is left of me are my thoughts of beyond. As I look into the mirror I can see you facing me, reaching out and if I could I would take your hand. As always, I love your words, and how they can make me feel.

Mushy dear darling girl, you know I don't write long replies like you.....I guess that is why I try to give you good poems...to make up for the lack of such beautiful comments as you... In your fourth line...I do believe that "your" should be "you"..... Take a look at it... This is such an inspiring poem....Yes, I too have been there, done that, and certainly any one of us could reach out to me in time of need... I too....am here... Thanx Mushy... |

Magnus darling as always your instinct is never wrong thank you, and YOU were right. You know I rarely return to reply to my poems, not because I don’t care which replies I get simply I prefer to let you know how much you mean to me by replying to your work. And anyway I never seem to have time, or I can’t find them because they’ve slipped into oblivion, oh well c’est la vie mon cher, n’est pas?. Okay I’ll be good, I promise, I won’t slip into French in again Thank you muchly Alice, Magnus and Lady for replying. Love and light   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Yesterday’s dreams can be tomorrow’s hope Feel the rise of wishes and know you’ll cope There’s no need to fear you can win Look inside you’ll find strength within I hope you're right. Forgetting all I'm lacking |

In the hope of tomorrow lies yesterday's path the future unwritten in pain's aftermath and yet there is courage for people who care and well trodden pathways for people to share the hope of tomorrow is more than it seems when the spirit of care is in yesterday's dreams. This is so soothing to the heart and spirit. Keth. |
