To My Dreams

To My Dreams

A Poem by Miss Shea

Farewell...

I got distracted

Fell off course

There were so many others

That needed me first

So, my dreams,

I have given up

Lost sight of the future

That once shined for me

life became a nightmare

sacrifice and strife

my dream became hopeless...

I felt like I was reaching for the stars

and falling far to short

Failing where I should succeed

Fighting when I can't win

It's too late to start again

Time to pick a new path

And forget I ever had these dreams

Release my regrets

For all I am leaving

Find relief in something else

Something now

That will last

take place of the hole that is my future

Erase the trials in my past

give me something just to hold on to

something new to work for

to reach for...

something new to dream for

Never too late to start that dream over....as a matter of fact, I don't hink that our first dreams are our best dreams anyway. This is a well written point that gets me to thinking....like it should. Nice job.
