~ To Make Me ~

I've dreamed many dreams that never came true.
I've seen them vanish at dawn,
But I've realized enough of my dreams,
To make me want to dream on.



I've trusted many a friend that failed,
And left me to weep alone,
But I've found enough of my friends true blue,
To make me keep trusting on.


I've sown many seeds that fell by the way,
For the birds to feed upon,
But I've held enough golden sheaves in my hands,
To make me keep sowing on.


I've drained the cup of disappointment and pain
And gone many ways without song,
But I've sipped enough nectar from the roses of life
To make me want to live on.
