It has been said that you should not wish for what you dont have or for what you once had.... but instead be thankful for what you have.... this should not be confused with dreaming for what might be or remembering what once was.... for as we all know.... when you wish for something that implies that it should be given to you.... but when we dream we understand that we must put effort into the attaining of the dream.... the power of envisioning your dreams is much greater than the power of wishing... that is not to say we should stop wishing... it simply implies that we should picture ourselves attaining that which we desire whether it be given or worked for.... hence the saying.... be careful what you wish for.... very often wishes come with a hidden pricetag.... a dream is of our making.... it is up to us to create the circumstances that will result in a favorable outcome..... we all dream of a better day.... and dare I say.... wish for better things... yet we control our destiny if we accept responsibility for its outcome..... having said that.... its nice to have things given to us..... but in the long run..... working and attaining what we desire has its own greater reward.....

When contemplating rescent events in my life over the last few days... I kept seeing and hearing the thoughts of others when speaking of some fantastic people that have passed on to the next life.... in death they will live on not only by the memories of their being in life... but by there humble yet generous exhistance in the lives of all those they touched...

When from this world we do depart...
Will it be said, we lived with heart...
Remembered for all we shared...
and not forgotten because we cared...
Did we give to others of all we had...
and not just live life as a passing fad...
Would others see us as God loving and true...
always happy go lucky and never blue...
Remembered for the joy that we spread...
always thinking and using our head...
Caring for the big, as well as the small...
regardlees of obstacles, or how far we may fall...
If weve played by the rules and lived our life right...
then theres nothing to fear when our day becomes night...
so... when from this world we do depart...
will it be said, we lived with heart...

When you see what you cannot touch...
And you want what you cannot have...

When emotion leads to dreaming...
And the hurting makes you sad...
Desire leads to yearning...
And temtations within reach...
The wanting and the needing...
With desires from within...

When you see what you cannot touch...
And you want what you cannot have...

The strentgh to be apart...
And the will to carry on...
Whispered temptations...
And promises of bliss...
Serene illusions...
Of many a stolen kiss...

When you see what you cannot touch...
And you want what you cannot have...

Transfixed upon your smile...
I travel through your eyes...
To gaze upon the visions in your mind...
And travel through the windows of your soul...
To journey far within...
and contemplate with desire...
Your dreams and passions...
encompassed within your heart...
That shapes your very being...
and guides your gentle fingers...
as they put to parchment...
Words of tantillizing bliss...
Separated by far reaching distance...
Brought together...
with life breathing dreams...
encompassing all who read...
with mind tingling sensations...
the very essence of desires...
the being of friendships...
the sharing of joys...
and the emotions of Love...
as I gaze into your eyes...
transfixed upon your smile...
