Dreams Are Left Behind There are the journeys that we make Within our minds.It doesn't take Much time at all, to find the place, You last saw a beloved face. Sometimes, these journeys are the best. Our memories are greatly blessed By never seeing signs of change Or how the years can rearrange Familiar things and people who Have always stayed the same, for you. Reality is often sad. Destroys illusions that you've had And many times, we wish that we Had not disturbed our history. Reality lives every day, In each event that comes our way And if we should escape awhile, To let the past produce a smile, It only strengthens us the more For the real world outside our door. Anticipation often lends A pleasant glow to what life sends, But in reality we find, Too often dreams are left behind! Betty Lou Hebert Published by Drury's Publishing, 1999 |

A lovely poem Betty and so true. We keep looking for our dreams and suddenly they are all behind us. Love, Joyce |

Betty Lou, this speaks loud and clear. We have to take on reality...but who would stand in our way in following the dream, as well? Enjoyed this published piece very much! |

Dear Betty Lou I can really relate to this poem. It is a shame though that we do leave our dreams behind because I sure don't like what's waiting outside that door! Guess I have to face up to reality! Love Isobel xo |

Dear Isobel: One thing about it, we can always make new dreams to replace the ones we've left behind! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

passing shadows: Thanks for saying you like my work! I have posted in Open a long time ago, without much success. It's such a busy site and there are so many wonderful poets there! I will try it again one of these days, just for you! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Trillium, This is a great write and a reminder to me to keep trudging along to make my dreams a reality and not let them fade into my past. Thanks Dawn |
