Not an earthquake or snow fall
when the shutdown has occurred
but a quick surrender unto
a plethora of heartache.

It’s not a heartache made to be
here today and gone Sunday
when spirits occupy the air
and speak of our redemption.

‘tis simply like designer clothes
made to parade before my soul
but I would put a seam between
what you do and who you are.

Still and all I know to be
not one to alter your designs
but rather just to dream the feel
of clothes more suited to the norm.

I dream of denim for hard work,
of silk for tenderness,
and of cotton for the making
and attainment of goals.

Thus I see you dressed and armed
for the fulfilment of potential
but, alas, I wake, each day I wake
to wish that dreams were real!

Ah, very neat. I suppose that "fulfillment of promises" would also work here. I shan't ask if the shutdown referred to had anything to do with a cloth mill.

Thanks, easy1. I guess it's very easy to break a promise but much harder to know one's potential and go for it.

Yo dear Honeybunch,

Even family relations come, go and then come again.

Thanks, Bobby. A week since the writing and now I think there's a high possibility of that particular dream becoming real. Still a way to go though before I know for sure.

Never give up your dreams dear Helen,

Sometimes that is all we have left, but don't lose hope my dear, good things come

to those who wait and dream. good luck.

All we can do is try our best can we Helen?

How frustrating and sad to see, our real purpose in life, just not turn out the way we had soo hoped for.

Bless you dearheart.

Each of us is darned to the fabric of our own thoughts and are meant to be different and in that difference, beautiful. Wishing you peace.
