Reality

Life is a constant conflict
A war raged in our souls
Forever pushing forward
Eternally seeking goals
No matter what’s achieved
We will still want for more
Spurred by what’s expected
Not what’s in heart’s core
Dreams of our sub-conscience
Greet stark reality each day
Taking often second place
As necessity directs our way
Yet the power of these dreams
Will set our life-long pace
They are the building block
Which gives reality its base
Let not you be discouraged
Reality touches all extremes
Wishes, not always meant to be
Life, not always fulfilled dreams

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Brian, I know just how you feel, sometimes there are so many things I want so badly, but I know deep down as long as we believe in ourselves, our most simplest dreams can come true and bring us great cheer! (smiles) We all love you so much, sweet friend, we all wish you the greatest happiness! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Brian, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

*sigh* I live reality every day as I go through life a lone...but each night I can weave dreams of what I desire most in my heart. This poem touches the soul of me, sweet Brian...**big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Hello Brian

Isn't it strange how the most precious things are something that money can't buy yet it takes many people a lifetime to realise this.  Your words spoke many truths and were so much enjoyed as always.

Take care....Sue
