Dream Within A Dream
Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream: Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? […]
A Dream
In visions of the dark night I have dreamed of joy departed But a waking dream of life and light Hath left me broken-hearted. Ah! what is not a dream by day To him whose eyes are cast On things around him with a ray Turned back upon the past? That holy dream–that holy dream, […]
Into My Own
One of my wishes is that those dark trees, So old and firm they scarcely show the breeze, Were not, as ’twere, the merest mask of gloom, But stretched away unto the edge of doom.I should not be withheld but that some day Into their vastness I should steal away, Fearless of ever finding open […]

So many wrong decisions in my past, I’m not quite sure if I could ever hope to trust my judgment anymore. But lately I’ve been thinking, because it’s all I’ve had to do. And in my heart I feel that I should give this child to you. And maybe you can tell your baby when […]

A Prayer in Spring
“Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today; And give us not to think so far away As the uncertain harvest; keep us here All simply in the springing of the year. Oh, gives us pleasure in the orchard white, Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night; And make us happy in the […]
Footprints
“One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand Sometimes there were two sets of footprints other times there were one set of footprints. This bothered me because I noticed that during the […]

Real friends are hard to find but they’ll always be there when you’re in a bind Always ready to care and to help out they’ll always come running whenever you shout I have friends like that who are always there who listen to everything and who are more than fair They’re always there to pick […]
Thoughts
Lying alone thinking of you things on my mind I can’t undo My heart is pounding my pulse at race through the fog of my thoughts I see only your face I feel your hand softly on my cheek Your touch fulfills the love I seek No one has ever known me the way you […]
