Another
season passing, passing in time
The dreams so clear, seems so long ago
Fading
in Spring, and more with each Fall.
A
husband, a wife ... a child and then two.
Another Winter, building a bike
for under the tree,
Thoughts of taxes, they soon will be due,
Another
new year, as holidays draw nearer.
Each
new Spring seems warmer than last,
Seems the grass in the yard grows far too
fast.
There's still time enough for those dreams long ago
Someday when
the kids are all grown,
Someday when they are out on their own. Another
year ... another ... or two ...
Dreams, the life of our sleep,
Fleeting
thoughts ... a long ago wish. Then
one day, another Spring ...
A smile, a thought ... dreams from the past.
Someday
when ... my children are grown up,
I'll quit this job, my life my own ...
I'll
see the world ... I remember when. Our
hearts, ageless they know of no bounds,
Until one day, the dreams we would
live
Are now out of reach ... we ran out of time.
They never got past "Someday
When"
Having been replaced instead of with,
"What could have
been."
|
(continued)
So
dreams they stay inside of our hearts,
Turned into just wishes, past "Wishes"
on stars.
We thought we had time, as they most always began
With the simple
notion of ... "Someday When." An
untouchable place "Someday When"
Today is as good as any day can
be ...
To live the beginning of a least one of those dreams. Through
the warm spring days, Summer then Fall,
Then on through the Winter ... time
passes slow.
Until one day, the direction we look,
Is not of the future,
but a place of the past. A
time comes to all, when all we will have
Are the memories of love, and the
lives we have lived
Or ... dreams turned to wishes wished on the stars
Waiting
for tomorrows for our dreams to come true.
Dreams
that began with "Someday When"...
And stayed there ... empty place
unfulfilled. "Tomorrow"
never comes when our dreams
"Always" begin with "Someday When."
That place in our hearts, where time never ends
A place where, "When"
sleeps, if never begins. ...
Don't Wait For Tomorrow ...
