Horizons of Gold Yesterday’s dreams o’er horizons of gold Are valleys that life would at some time unfold Exposing strange visions, events unforeseen Unlike those that dance in the mist of a dream The days I had pictured were never correct Nor encompassed the pleasures my heart would expect Though this weary old soul’s not misguided or lost Life still pulls surprises with each mountain crossed The highway before me meanders and twists As long as a dream in my heart still exists I’ll envision what possible joy may arise And let bright golden gleams o’er the hill touch my eyes Each time I confront a new unventured bridge One eye on the trestle and one o’er the ridge Elizabeth Santos |

This, Lady Santos, is a keeper...and one to share with those as they come to experience a sense of loss, and depression...a reminder that we need to keep our eyes up, and on the horizon... Excellent! |

Now I just knew there would be something on these pages you wrote to make me feel better today, and there it was ... Each time I confront a new unventured bridge One eye on the trestle and one o’er the ridge ... a good reminder for those who are feeling a little "down" these days, and I thank you. ~* If you want a rainbow, sometimes you just have to put up with a little rain *~ |

Wonderful... I'll keep this wonderful little tidbit of advice - I'll likely need it again... and again...  |
