To Live Is To Dream

Missing image

One lifetime here is all we're given

So many things we want to do

Enthusiasm for life and all it offers

Never losing sight of all it's view.

 

 

Every year brings us closer

We are nearer to the door

Of the door closing that never opens

Death is final, here on earth's shore. 

 

 But with every day we live it

Begin it  believing in your dreams

Then every day will be a wonder

Achieving more than ordinary things!

 

For our visit, God's designing

We were meant to bring the change

Of our giving and our learning

This earth's world to rearrange.

 

For life for sure is what we make it

It's is good to be alive!

Finding answers in our problems

God surely knows for what we strive!

 

As surely as we don our garments

Getting up at dawn of day

May it be said we had a dream,

Achieving, believing, come what may!

 

 

When and if that time comes may it be said..."We died with our accomplishments and dreams"...and may they be fufilled in our lifetime...For to dream is to live!

Option 2 Quote 6 "Dream as if you will live forever, and live as if you'll die today" It is our dreams and inspirations that compel us on with life.....The things we long to do...experience and be a part of.....It is that force that keeps us dreaming.....A God given gift.

    One lifetime here is all we're given - perhaps this is true, though many people i have come across in my life, real, face to face and here online hold a sense of time to them, like they have been here before. a good poem, living for the moments that come, and yeah, perhaps it is just a dream that we will live forever.

  • I Love this totally agree with the message Thx I needed this today
