Few new knew in his mind, his room, what grew
plans plans plans, ideas ideas ideas

few knew what adventures they'll miss
the opportunities for a romantic kiss

they are lead away, fall astray
instead of standing with him
by ocean bay

they could've had it all
instead by the waysides, one by one, they fall

the colors of missed opportunity
held captive by fear
and oh the tears
they shed
in his hopes once,
to be wed

and so onward he goes
a knight in the know
on with the show

and oh
the stories they will hear
his pictures, they will peer

through his eyes
desert adventures
sand dunes
white beach and blue skies

Oh, they will sigh,
these timid
those fearful...
those shy,

of soul

I like this, martiniat8. You give, in a generic sort of way, the whole of mankind. If you are not a born leader you need to find someone who is and one that you can relate to and support him/her.

One who has the dreams and the will and grit to try to fulfill them. If their dreams are your dreams also, but you are merely like the worker ants paying homage to their queen, you should you support this person whose heart beats the same rhythm as does yours.

Thanks y'all and it did turn out to be true. They weren't happy they missed out.
