What you do with it is your gift back to God.

have been great dreamers.

but do it !

without being given the power to make it come true.

cast a shadow on tomorrow's dreams.

8.      Somewhere there's someone who dreams of your smile,
and finds in your presence that life is worth while.

Somebody somewhere is thinking of you.

is in your own mind.

10.   The rising sun
age old
yet new and inspiring
lighting up the world
with its soft pink rays;
just watching the familiar hues
dance on the still water
I return to emotions
that never truly left.
Just as the sun sets
it rises again
wide arms embracing a new day
