I held you close to me
Once in a distant dream
Far from the shores of my fear
I sailed on this ocean
Where all I imagined could happen
And now you are here

It’s so hard to touch what is out of our hands
To know and to trust what the heart understands

Only the ones who believe
Ever see what they dream
Ever dream what comes true

Life gives us magic
And life brings us tragedy
Everyone suffers some loss
Still we have faith in it
Childlike hope
There’s a reason that outweighs the cost

And gravity throws all these rules in our way
And sometimes the spirit refuses to play

Only the ones who believe
Ever see what they dream
Ever dream what comes true

Oh love
Turn me around in your arms
And in this dream we share
Let us not miss one kiss

And add my regrets to the tears in the rain
That’s what the color of roses contain

Only the ones who believe
Ever see what they dream
Ever dream what comes true


song by Beth Neilson Chapman

-Just a beautiful song that I heard years ago. Thought of it today, on this sunny cool morning... after a long night of rain.

This was beautiful.

NoMas,

Yes I agree. This song is beautiful. If you haven't heard the tune it is worth looking up.

I don't have the skill to write much poetry myself, so I find I have to lean on other's work for expression. Not sure that 'counts' in the Poems section here, but it is nice just to put your feelings out there somewhere - even if they were penned by someone far more talented. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Caught your earlier post but was unable to comment until now. Am sitting in a hotel room in upstate NY for today. Still don't think even with this much needed down-time I will be able to come up with any moving words of my own to share. Easy to feel, hard to put those feelings into words - for me anyway.

Anyway, this is a great place to come and read though, lots of talented people here.

: )

Hey...funny catching you here. NY is a nice place to be. Enjoy.

Yeah not a bad place to be. Kind of funny though because it is pretty hot here (for Syracuse) going to reach around 90 today.

have a good one. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hey...sent you a note if/when you get a chance. :-)

have a new address - sent one off to you.
