do you have a vision
a dream hidden deep inside you
ahhh . . .
keep that vision, that dream
close to your heart
for . . .
if you don't cultivate
and nurture your vision
it will blur
and in time will disappear
that would be tragic
if you allow your vision to wither and die
you are left handicapped
as you plod through life with nothing
to sustain you
so keep that vision close
encourage it
and the world will become
a beautiful garden
where your wishes and vision
can flourish and grow
oh, please hold tight your vision

How very true! I like both the reminder and the encouragement you've written!

Eh . . . They are here on earth, but first we have to learn to understand them. Thanks, Bruce.

Ahh Visions, careful now...when one's vision clears, sometimes one wakes to a nightmare O.O just a random thought.
Enjoyed.

-Trina
I'll keep these dreams hidden
inside these eyes of mine
until my tears fall
unto my tainted hear
