In Quiet Corners In quiet corners of my mind, There are relics that I find. Haunting visions of the past, Before the final dies were cast, That led my steps away and so They never had a chance to grow. The river runs, but in its shoals, Are cast-offs, from discarded goals. I seldom look at them but now, Nostalgia has me wondering how Life would have been if some had won A place to blossom in the sun. I don't regret the road I've trod. It's brought me closer to my God And I've no doubt that I am where I'm meant to be, but is it fair To leave so many dreams behind, In quiet corners of my mind? Betty Lou Hebert |

This is and interesting question, Betty. Maybe our lives just aren't long enough to cover all of our dreams. I think you have made up for it with your lovely poetry. Love, Joyce |

Betty Lou I guess we all have our regrets in life and we ponder many "what ifs?". I know I have felt this way before. Take care.......Sue I am in motion |

Dear Betty Lou Dreams are not lost. When you leave this earthly plane you take them with you. They are a part of your essence. What a lovely poem. I really enjoyed this one. Love Isobel ox |

The river runs, but in its shoals, Are cast-offs, from discarded goals. I seldom look at them but now, Nostalgia has me wondering how Life would have been if some had won A place to blossom in the sun. I think we all tend to wonder "what if" every now and then. Great write. Chris Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale. |

Dear Isobel: I suppose you are right, or sometimes, we pass our dreams to other people, to carry out, when we are gone. Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |
