Without our fantasies and our dreams
how would we ever cope
When some realities we face in this life
would make us doubt and not see our hope

Walking around with a frown
with turmoil of life inside
Churning around and causing pain
making us from others hide

It is easier for us to look inside
where our sweet memories we keep
Where there is peace, joy, and happiness
helping us to smile and not weep

Memories of when we are together
seeing each other face to face
Relishing in the others presence
where between us there is no space

Remembering times of our togetherness
wherever may have been were they
The times where sweet memories were made
so remembering of them we may

We cherish all our treasured memories
taking care of them each
They are all very precious to us
so we keep them near within reach

So, without our fantasies and our dreams
oh how would we ever cope
When some realities we face in this life
would make us doubt and not see our hope

Beautiful Ethel...we must remember to bank all memories
when we can't be close to the one we love.

(smiles) Oh Ethel, it saddens me to see so many always writing about their tears and griefs and never look to the brighter hopes of better things, sweet friend, I believe we should all express our tears sometimes but never overdo it and miss out on the brighter side of life! (kiss on cheek) You are a radiant spirit with optimism and love to give to all, sweet friend, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

So true. Hope shines most when love is shown and we have that to hold on to. Very nice.

Love,

Amen to this, sweet lady... the reality of apart wouldn't be bearable without them. *S*

Dixie, I'm glad that you like it.
Thank you

Oh yes, Nancy Lee...what would we do
without our memories at that time?

Thanks, Noah. I appreciate those words
of encouragement and I love the
picture, too.

I appreciate each of you.

Thanks, Terri. I really appreciate you,
sweet lady.

suthern lady, it's certainly true that the time
apart would be unbearable without the memories of
the together time. Thanks, sweet lady.

I appreciate both of you very much.

Hugs to you both

I was just having some thoughts on fantasies earlier today...I heard a conversation alluding to the fact that some get so caught up in their fantasies that when the real thing comes along it doesn't quite measure up...I don't think this is what your poem is about, but it brought those thoughts to me again...and I think I have been guilty of this...James
