On A Journey To The Unknown

I just wanted to share with you all (my friends) this poem. It was written for a challenge. I was so shocked when I found out that I had won. Hope you like it.

If each day, when I woke there was
Nothing for me to look forward to
If there were no dreams for me
There would be nothing left to do

I would have given up a while ago
When the love of my life was gone
For my world had fallen apart
Now, once again, I am here with no one

There is no longer anyone to care
No one to help me through the day
When troubles seem to overwhelm me
And they always seemed to want to stay

But, seeing how I am one who never
Gives in and just gives up
I picked myself up after awhile
Enduring all those trial that were so tough

I plunged right on through this life
Always focusing on all of my dreams
Trying to hang on to the hope I had
In hopes that they would all come true for me

Today, I am glad I had some dreams
To keep me going for a while
And, I am grateful for the friends I have
Because, they always bring a smile

Nice writing...dreams give us hope and something positive to look forward too...
Thats why I consider it so important to embrace new dreams, if the old ones have faded...James
