If her hopes are all gone
and her dreams cease to be
what in life will she have
to look forward to......

If the here of today
is what she forever has
with all the frustrations
with no dreams to pursue

If she listens to others
when discouragement they bring
telling her what they think
she should ever do

Telling her that everything
is nothing......
just fairytales......
dreams that will never come true

If she listens to others
if her hopes are all gone
if her dreams cease to be
what in life will she have
to look forward to......

Yes, IF..........

Excellent write Ethel...
and yes you are SO pretty....
should have had a pic up long ago...
Now I know who I am talking to!
Love ya lady~

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
   is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

Ethel -- I think our dreams or imaginations are such gifts -- they help us survive -- this is what I got from your sweet, sensitive writing.   ....jo

If she listens to others
when discouragement they bring


if  they can't be supportive, close your ears to them...

Yes, If!  and, very well put - guess the only thing I could add is tell her to think for herself a little...

and I agree with others here - - - heck, I agree all by myself ... you are pretty!

Happy to see you, my friend, and always happy to read you.
