Saluting with misty eyes

You are Cherished
But you knew that
Lingering in the back
Never saying your mind
As you read these words
We were almost children
Me too old for my years
You too beautiful to see
I could never have touched you
Times had changed
Yet changed they had not
You were still beautiful
And I was still unworthy
And between them both
We somehow met along the way
Only to have it ruined
By my ignorance and pride
So for now
I content myself
To send you a pleasant dream

When the morning cries and you don't know why...

this one saddens me - can relate to that long ago innocence - lost - regret - for other times - but here - you seem so sad - like you are saying sorry for something that maybe just wasnt meant to be ( I have no idea where this is coming from is what I feel)  another amazing write    xxoo

Sometimes it's the case, more often than not, dreams come true.  It's being ready for what dreams may come that is the challenge, and certainly the rub.  A pleasant dream is a gift.  Your words are beautiful, and touched me.
Thank you,
Diane

Thank you, Ringo...
for taking me back to a moment
when "Cherish" played...
and I was
young.
