Dreams
Buried beneath the rubble of disappointments
Abandoned along the road of events
Forgotten and faded like an old sketch
Too tired to believe, to reach and stretch
Where did they go, when were they lost?
Was it too hard or too high the cost?
When did the dream get tossed aside
When was it that the dreams died?
Dreams of innocent thoughts and desires
Of wishes and hopes to come, it requires
Dreams of what could be, what should be
To believe in the dream is the key.
Dreams help to move us beyond the past
To dream is to take us to places so vast
They show that life is full of new starts
New loves, desires and hopes for the hearts
Dreams push us to think out side of box
They cause us to see a path, not just the rocks
Dreams stretch and pull us to believe in possibilities
To a realm that only an open heart sees
Dreams reach beyond our own limitations
They can be found by our imaginations
Dreams transport us to new unknown destinations
They are new desires and fascinations
Dreams live in the realm possibilities
Dreams have visions that only know abilities
Planted by the Creator made for each
It is a tool by Him to cause us to reach.
Dreams that are watered by faith each day
And wrapped tightly in hope to keep doubt at bay
Dreams begin from a seed planted long ago.
So deep it begins and then to reality to grow.
They’re remembered in the times we pray
Each step with the dream brings us closer each day
Closer to know what is the Father’s vision
And to know His plans are made with precision
Dreams teach us to see past the doubt and fear
Hopelessness and sadness will disappear
When the dreams begin to take shape
And then their reality is our landscape
Dreams show us our courage and strength
So see to the journey and the great length
Of our Creator’s love and design
That His dreams are pure and divine
His plans and ideas are like a kaleidoscope
His dreams bring life, love and hope
They bring a refreshing new vision
To take hold of the dream it is our decision.

A Year

It surprised her today, it has been nearly a year
The painful truths that made it unbearably clear
Dreadful signs lead to the only real choice
“This is not life, nor is it love” said her heart’s voice
She had hoped, she had prayed,
A different outcome began to fade
She had made countless pleas,
With her life on her knees.
Packing up a life with all its dreams
Trying to quiet her heart as it screams
Tears flowed freely as she took one last look
As to close the chapter in her life’s book
Her hands shook as she found her keys,
Doubt spoke loudly to sway and to tease.
A new life to begin she know not what,
She paused at the door then pulled it shut.
She began the drive to a safe place.
The stains of the tears marked her face,
A call came from a from miles away
The caller spoke truth as she made her way.
Fresh hope, new goals and dreams to believe
The hurt, pain and deception will leave
Time to heal, restore and to rest
To know that with Christ she is Blessed.
Nearly a year has passed how could it be?
She lived through the pain and is able to see
That day was a start and not the end
Her life is more whole, she is on the mend
The healing the comfort is hard to explain
The balm of His Peace applied on her pain
The questions the doubts, and fears are just
To remember His Love is to trust.
