So many days tinged with sadness
So many times luck has been bad
So many tears blotting my vision
True love; is it just a wistful dream?
So often lay in despair dreaming
of someone sweet to share this life
that could be so good if only
my luck could change
my life be rearranged
if only there was you
I know the cynics say I’m so stupid
to dream my life away each day
I know my dreams lie far from verity
still I hold up my hands and say
How much brighter would this world be
if only we all lived a little dream
Cast off our troubles and our worries
took a boat to sandy shores
Journey on past time and legend
to a place like Middle Earth
Trample down our deepest demons
Remove the shackles that weigh us down
Breathe in the smell of fresh new grass now
Blink in the sunshine, smile at last
So often lay in despair dreaming
of someone sweet to share this life
that could be so good if only
my luck could change
my life be rearranged
if only there was you
I know my days may lie in darkness
I know each day may be a fight
But drifting off to distant places
that lie beyond reality of my life
helps me find that speck of courage
that opens up my heart to hope
and so I cope and so I smile
and so I dream…………
So often lay in despair dreaming
of someone sweet to share this life
that could be so good if only
my luck could change
my life be rearranged
if only there was you
Please tell me what you think

Soft and beautiful.

Hey! Hey!
Wonderfully expressed sadnesses and longings. It is as if you have entered a forest, and follow the path; then it divides, with no signage to guide you. You have to take a chance, and choose one path: it turns out not to be dangerous, but leads to another branching, where again you must choose without guidance. Even if the path is safe, does it lead you to the place where you want to go? Do you know where you want to go?
Yet with another attitude, perhaps with a little knowledge, you would walk down these same paths, on a lovely country walk, admiring all around, and wodering what a hornbeam looks like when it's at home with its socks off.
Deep, eh?

Edward yes deep 
and sooooo true. I wouldn't mind if the paths had all been of my choosing but it's when you are plunged head first down a road you had not planned for that throws you 
and sometimes having no knowledge can be blissful just to relax and admire the view can be wonderful

Beautifully written dear Cherry! Your luck will change and you will find hapiness. I see a bluebird on its way! To quote your countryman, Never, never, never, never, never, never give up!

A heart filled with dreams is also a heart filled with love. How can one not dream and live life as it comes with the hope always, that love may come to stay. Dream on.
