Dare I dare not dream I dare not hope I dare not count I cannot cope But dreams will come in depths of night And with your arms holding me tight I’m all that I could ever be Content with simply being me I rule the world, soar through the skies But then I wake and my dream dies I dare not dream I dare not hope I dare not count I cannot cope But hope persists in spite of all I spread my wings, fearful I’ll fall But I’m driven to take that chance, To make my leap, to live, to dance Against all odds I still believe Who am I trying to deceive? I dare not dream I dare not hope I dare not count I cannot cope But counting gets me through the days I think of you and all the ways I would love you if fates allowed If distance didn’t have me cowed Though time is often cruel to plans I count each speck of settling sand. I dare not dream I dare not hope I dare not count I cannot cope So many things I should not do But I must breathe and loving you Is in my cells, part of each breath My destiny - And even death Won’t stop my heart from being yours No matter what there’s to endure. So I must dream And I must hope Counting on you Is how I cope |

DearestFriend~ '.. I must dream ... I must hope Counting on you Is how I cope' Oh yes ... I've been 'counting' too~  Those restless sheep are getting tired of jumping over my dreamless fence~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

This is beautiful, Laura. I know your biggest counting right now, doesn't have happiness at the end of it, but I wish that somehow it could. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

This is a great poem suthern, it really corresponds with real life situations. A real masterpiece. Cheers - Ed Momma says, "Life... is like a box full of chocolates, you never know when you're gonna get one with a nut in it". |
