Before the years take their toll
we have such a treasure
of shining dreams for the future.
We hide them away
in a golden box of invincibility.
Such dreams!
They range the world,
knowing no boundries.
Anything is possible,
anything!
Years pass
and time,
that wily thief,
steals them
one by one.
Until one day
we look into the box,
as Pandora did so long ago,
to find that only hope remains.

Ah...but it shines
with the radiance of a star
just plucked from the heavens.

                  Ida Werrett

Yo Ida,

Snap out of it Hon.  What's with the "hope is the last thing to go" kick?

Ida, that wily thief needs to be caught and put behind the bars. He’s been stealing everywhere now; hope is one way to keep him away. Prasad

You too shine, dear Ida, in the beauty of this piece.
But please consider that for every dream that was "stolen" a new one will rise from within your heart.
Love and hugs.
Margherita
