Without a Dream I did not dream a dream or plight It was a dark and weary night My day was chores and shopping stores And separating mine from yours I sat me down my comfy chair And turned the TV on the air Pushed the buttons one by one But there was none my interest won Got a book and tried to read But even that did go to seed I’d missed my flight of fantasy My evening cup of ecstasy I shifted things from space to space And put each object in its place But could not find a place for me My boat stood doldrums in the sea Oh weary me, oh dreamless me I surely miss my fantasy |

ah yes Seymour, sometimes we miss the fantasy so much that anything else just doesn't compare. Loved seeing your thoughts here this morning. ![]() |

I don't have much to say except I felt this deeply and saved it to my library. Sometimes, you leave me just with this feeling of having caught a glimpse of your heart. Alison |

Happy Father's Day Sy, and I see the gift today was from you to all of us. What a lovely comment that was indeed, and so very true. No other can share pieces of the heart as you. ![]() |

when the fantasy is gone...what remains? For you it seems poetry remains even without the fantastic. a good commitee can decimate communication. |

Oh, I love this. Without dreams, what would we have to look forward to. I have alot of dreams. But, so far, none have come true. A dreamer never stops dreaming. I'm still dreaming of my Prince Charming! |
