Dreams Build your dreams on foundations of stone This is the message so many wise men say Plan it work it and tweek it for it is yours to own Don't live life as if your future is in yesterday Set your goals with happiness in life as your final win Tempt not fate against the will of dangerous ventures lost Find the love of your heart and never look back again Hold true to that love and never give it up at any cost Many things in life will come full circle around to you Many offers of pleasure will surface each and every day Remember this though as you walk into this day anew All those temptations are there to steal your true love away Faithfulness to your heart and to the one that you love Will bring you the happiness that you have so often sought A true love in spirit and heart is sent from the heavens above It is what many times over men and women have so often fought So start this day as you wake up to the sun and the breeze Go out into the world with a plan for all your dreams Walk in the light of your well thought out plan with ease Knowing that your devotion to your love is all that it seems My wish for you all is that you will all find in your life The happiness I have found in the recent love of my own My day has come to finally be set free and end my strife As all of my dreams are now coming to me ready to be sewn Mark Bohannan |

Hi Mark... I just wanted to say that this is so full of truth and wisdom, but put together in such a wonderful way. I can feel your happiness shining through, and with all my heart I wish you the very best! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Mark, this is a beautiful poem! I'm so glad that your dreams are coming into their time. Thanks for giving the rest of us hope as we work to make our dreams come true.

So start this day as you wake up to the sun and the breeze Go out into the world with a plan for all your dreams Walk in the light of your well thought out plan with ease Knowing that your devotion to your love is all that it seems My wish for you all is that you will all find in your life The happiness I have found in the recent love of my own My day has come to finally be set free and end my strife As all of my dreams are now coming to me ready to be sewn ======================= this poem glows with so much hope and promise i need to wear me sunglasses to read it... cant get much better than this can it cowboy... YES...with YOU me thinks..NO me KNOWS it can.... me heard it blowing in the wind as it slid down a rainbow ... its written in the stars ... need i say more love ya me |

Just the inspiration I needed to hear to prepare myself for tomorrow. Thank you for sharing this.. it has honestly touched me. And...

Ohh...*sigh* I DO hope you are contagious, because if everyone lived their life according to this advice, the world would be a much better place to hang out in, you know? I love the positive "air" about this -this is what I've been attempting to follow just the last few months here...living for tomorrow, and letting go of yesterdays. So so so much wisdom and truth wrapped up in this - I just hope everyone in this forum reads it, and heeds all the fabulous advice!! Bravo sir!! Another one well written - and keep smiling! Feels good, no? |

what can I say Mark, I loved your words of wisdom! We all strive to live our dreams. If we could just begin bit by bit I believe that we could make it a possibility. A little at a time, and build to make a reality. |
