Dream Seeker

The plans I make, I often find,
Are far too grand and not the kind
That I could hope would work for me,
But still I long for what can't be.

Like Icarus, with his wings of gold,
Who flew too high, so I've been told,
I've singed my dreams against the sun
And fallen back to earth, undone!

Lovely, Betty....and so true that our expectations can really get in the way of enjoying the reality of the moment! Ellie
