Of All My Dreams

Of All My Dreams

I have had dreams

For most all my life

~

Many have come true

And many have yet to

~

You would think I would be happy

This far into life

~

Instead, I am feeling lonely

Wondering why I am still alive

~

I have lost most of my family

I felt the closest to

~

Even my dearest friends

Have gone ahead of me too

~

So what is it Lord

You would have me do

~

Stay here on earth

Or come to heaven with you

~

Whatever your choice

And I leave it to you

~

My faith grows ever stronger

My life belongs to you

~

Of all my dreams

I want one most

~

To feel like I made a difference

In the lives I have touched

 

~

A great write, reflecting a depth of thought many have held,stuck here wanting to go home ... doing the best you can with you have, is difficult sometimes. I have several on the topic/concept, " Where Are You " comes to mind first. Loved the shrt line concept, be well, k

Thank you kindly Dal ... I appreciate you reading my poem and leaving me a comment.... Mary

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
