Favorite Quote:
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.<br /> ~ James A. Froude


A dream lie forgotten
by the bedside
crying out to be held again

Hope rests alone
in the dust
slowly losing itself

Visions half-seen
Impressions half-thought
Ideas half-nurtured
Dreams half-chased

Are we so blind that we can not see
the message we are leaving?
We wonder why our younger selves
are slowly dying out. . .


The author's comments:
Slowly and surely, children of today are losing their creativity. And when parents complain, they should look no further than themselves. Art programs are cut, science and math are stressed. We are not robots. . .
