I've dreamed many dreams
that never came true
I've seen them vanish at dawn,
But I've realized enough of my dreams,
Thank God,
To make me want to dream on.

I've prayed many prayers
when no answers came,
Though I waited patient and long,
But answers have come
to enough of my prayers
To make me keep praying on.

I've trusted many a friend that failed,
And left me to weep alone,
But I've found enough
of my friends true blue,
To make me keep trusting on.

I've sown many a seed
that fell by the way
For the birds to feed upon,
But I've held enough golden sheaves
in my hands
To make me keep sowing on.

I've drained the cup
of disappointment and pain
And gone many days without song,
But I've sipped enough nectar
from the roses of life
To make me want to live on.

Guess what?

I found these on a website. So, you write for others, too?

Nope. She gets them from a book. But,I'm sure she didn't know about the copyright issues.

Nope.

We mailed, and I told her about copyright... Sometimes just puting a disclaimer, or whatever saying you didn't write it...

I have a thing about using others work. And, it can be confusing. Especially if you use quotes from places...

Well Taboon and Bobby !!!

Vicki has never claimed them to be her own, if you look back at start of her threads you would have noticed that.

But really a lot of people hear enjoy her threads and gives us food for thought.

If you dont like it well then just read it and move on to the next, please dont take this as an insult but i hate when other post things that could be put in a email.

Take care.....hug

Hey very cool, you!

Mine have been mostly small time local papers... But, I write just for the sake of it, hehehe. I am getting quite a collection together, so far though.

Nice work!
