Sometimes I dream But mostly I’m oblivious To the obvious Still though, I dream Mostly just fantasies taken From books with space and history From the Wild West to 2376 I’ve done it all But every now and then I have the real ones Where reality and dreams collide And I’m somewhere I will be Growing up I dreamed of sand Army men driving to war Good times, bad times all the same But never thinking of it But I know that things are right I’ve been there in my dreams Seen the path that I was to take Nothing is lost upon my way I found the woman for my soul Right where I had left her She’s haunted my dreams for so long Just a shadow in the mist Funny how you travel the road So much easier when the horses lead Instead of pulling the cart With the horses in the back Maybe if I hadn’t tried to force my future Things would have been easier But that was then this is now And there’s no use crying over spilled milk Yet every day I wasted Is one less day I have Living happy and peaceful In the garden of my Eden But everything is better Than even I knew it was There are no more shadows to haunt me No dangers in my soul Evil demons fade away Replaced by her smiling face And it makes me smile In my dreams So there’s no crying over spilled milk Living in my Garden of Eden No more shadows in the mist An eternity in my dreams to explore No one is more professional than I. I am a Noncommissioned Officer, a leader of soldiers. |

"Maybe if I hadn’t tried to force my future Things would have been easier" I can really relate to those words... thanks for sharing your gift |

EA, Thanks! Enchantress, I do what I can to paint a picture, or sing a song. Nothing more, nothing less. Lady, may you find many more to enjoy. Bloody, I remember an old song that holds true. "time, is on my side" sing it sometime and remember, good things in life are worth waiting for. Everything in life should be right, but being right doesn't always mean right now. Arwen, Thanks. No one is more professional than I. I am a Noncommissioned Officer, a leader of soldiers. |
