Array ( [sid] => 182850 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Rowing Boats [time] => 2016-03-27 06:12:06 [hometext] => Gently down the stream. [bodytext] => Way back when I was a child,
I pondered what to be,
And all my dreams went wild.

Oh how the thoughts I had, had made me cheer and scream;
But my brothers smacked my face and said:
"It only were a dream."

When I was a teenager, I longed to play guitar;
A master virtuoso I would be,
Oh yes, I would soon go far.

But when I tried a live stream,
The viewers then said to me:
"You/'/re living in a dream!"

Now I write poetry, to throw my thoughts with flow
And as they pour onto my screen,
I relish that my soul yet yearns to grow.

Even if I sometimes try, to make them breathe and beam,
Still behind the words I see:
"This is simply all a dream."

One day when I/'/m older, with children of my own,
We/'/ll go for a boat ride soon before,
We/'/re off to make way home.

My kids will sing the merry song, of the boat upon the stream,
And with smiles on their faces, They/'/ll say:
"Life is but a dream!"

After the come, of many suns and moons later,
My health by then declined,
For to its status, it simply could not cater;

After I depart; to within the starry solstice scheme,
A loving God will say to me:
"Child, t/'/were always but a dream." [comments] => 1 [counter] => 200 [topic] => 43 [informant] => xHeathenx [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Great poem. Never quit dreaming as without those dreams success never comes. Appreciate failure as it brings you one step closer to success. I really like this- very well written with emotion in spades.
