A Garden of Dreams


Garden of Dreams
Copyrighted by Mary Baxter St. Clair
 
 
 

I found myself in a garden of dreams
Lost with no self-esteem or love
Shedding tears for lost passion-heartbroken
Despair without hope from above.

I reached down inside to find myself
In my garden of dreams alone
Discovering weeds had taken over within
For tears in bitterness I'd sown.

Then one day when least expected
As I explored my garden of dreams
I prayed softly somehow for a ray of hope
For a miracle or so it seemed.

I went back through my garden of dreams
Began pulling weeds up one by one
Then found seedlings of faith still lived there
As I basked in the morning sun.

I discovered happiness is a choice you make
When looking inside yourself-so it seems
So keep watering tiny seeds of faith deep within
Soon flowers will bloom in your garden of dreams.

Some Quotes about "Dreams"

Within our dreams and aspirations we find our opportunities....
~Sue A. Ebaugh~
.
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it.  If you can dream it, you
can become it....
~William A. Ward~
.
The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream.
The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird waits in the egg; and in the
highest vision of the soul, a waking angel stirs.  Dreams are the
seedlings of realities....
~James Allen~


The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes,
but in having new eyes....
~Marcel Proust~
