The ravages of time have lined your pretty face; all the dreams we prayed for seemed to go away; I know in the quiet dark you sometimes cry for all the lines and broken dreams, and tears we've known; but when you stand up straight and proud beneath the sun, I smile, you smile, we dream again. ©2003 by icebox |

icebox...the way you perceive is the way you look, I think....and the way you feel, is the way you see. You got me thinking ...you do that well. Appreciate it! |

the_loner_23 ~ Thank you for reading my poem. I appreciate your enjoyment and your comment. Martie ~ *smile* Well, personally I always worry about thinking; I never know where I am going to end up. Thank you for reading my poem and for taking time to comment. I appreciate it. |

 somehow, I can feel this is for me, and if it's not, then I will keep it anyway. |

Beautiful! I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

Poignant but optimistic. A happy ending in old age huh? Hope I get there... |

This is so very beautiful and truthful. If we didn't hold on to our hopes and our dreams, just where would we be?  Hugs  Ethel |
