I am but a dreamer As always I’ve been told I see things that aren’t And don’t really care But give me a hope And I’ll give every effort To make it prosper and grow Even if it never leaves my mind I have accomplished so much Without leaving the house Built empires and castles Then just tore them down To insure justice for all Reality brings me back down to earth Sometimes I wonder If I should just give it up Grow up and become an “adult” Give up the fun But that would make me feel old That’s no reason for this soul to be sold All that I do know for sure Is that I want to dream forever Just to tell them to you Nothing ever happens unless first a Dream - Rodney [This message has been edited by Rodney Belcher (01-20-2002 10:04 PM).] |

He was a dreamer, a dreamer of dreams, He always was dreaming, in dreamland it seems, He solved all the problems, the world has to bear, How lucky the dreamer, I wish I was there. Doesn't matter how old we are, if we quit dreaming, then we quit living, we just exist. Enjoyed your poem. |

I very much enjoyed your poem, Rodney. Please remember that if there were no dreamers, there would be no poems...and what a sad world that would be. copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

I must confess, the title brought me into this one, and it didn’t disappoint. I too, am the ultimate dreamer. And no, we should never give up dreaming...there’s enough stark reality in this world. Leave us with the comfort of our dreams at least. I hope she’s listening to your dreams. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
